and there is some wear around the edges plus nicks here and there

which to me possesses all the beauty of a Brancusi

SOLD Agnes Raiche's Completed Krone's 1882 Primary Course Drawing Book indian bag and there is some wearAs detailed on the inside of the front cover, this particular volume (#6) in a series of Krone's Paragon Series drawing books was designed to teach "more difficult" exercises in shading, including cross shading, solids, etc. On each page is a printed example, at left, which the student, in this case Agnes Raiche, was to redraw exactly.
