Small pencil drawing of a pine tree. Title indicates that tree is "partly dead," perhaps signaled by the many bare branches. Pine needles are indicated on only a few branches.
High-quality reproduction of Francis Lee Jaques's watercolor study for Volume I, Plate 41 of "The Birds of Minnesota" (Thomas Sadler Roberts, 2 volumes, 1932.) Pairs of passenger pigeons and mourning doves perch on the twigs of a single branch.
