The fine detail shown in this pen & ink drawing by Ford Ruthling, a native of Santa Fe, NM, is exquisite, from the way the bird's feathers seem to merge with the leaves and twigs used to construct the nest to the narrow looped design that defines the outer edge of the oval (photo 3).

The close-packed bubbles of varying sizes that surround the bird and nest suggest a watery habitat. The print is ...
