Sea Bird Saga IX 1966

"Sea Bird Saga IX," a 1966 charcoal drawing by American artist Wallace Bradstreet Putnam, is a minimalist depiction of a lone seabird perched on a rock against a dark, undulating background. The artist's signature style, marked by subtle and gestural lines, creates a sense of movement and depth, leaving the viewer to interpret the bird's solitary presence and its relationship to the vast, unknown sea.
