Boys in Hudson Lake Holding Line walk in the woods The blade at center turns

The blade at center turns to lay flat as desired

I love this little girl

There is a big fat glaze drip on one side

I believe these would have been used by a carpenter/furniture maker

It looks to me like a snake curled into a spiral

Boys in Hudson Lake Holding Line walk in the woods The blade at center turnsFeels like a ballet in the water. Beautifully gestural, the line they hold to barely there, and with very excellent shadows of their young bodies in the ripples on the lake. Very gentle. With a note on the back that identifies this as Hudson Lake. 5 3 8" x 3 1 2", very good condition. "Hudson Lake" written in pencil on reverse.
