Sewing Bird c. 1936

Charlotte Winter’s "Sewing Bird" (c. 1936) is a detailed pencil drawing of a metal sewing bird, a device used to hold fabric taut while sewing. The drawing captures the intricate details of the bird’s form, including its outstretched wings, the two spools on its head and back, and the ornate base. The work showcases Winter’s skill in rendering metal surfaces and the delicate design of this antique sewing tool.
