Bluebill Drake
- Ira Hudson - Chincoteague Island, VA
|
|
Outstanding and absolutely original circa
1940 Bluebill Drake by Ira Hudson, Chincoteague Island, VA
(1873-1949). This fat bodied, "football style" bird
is in strong original paint that is very dry and shows some
shrinkage and flaking. Neck crack is unrepaired and is tight.
No bottom cracks. Decoy retains its original weight and line
tie. Tag on bottom of decoy identifies the bird as having
been in the Ward Museum collection and was donated in 1993
from the collection of U.S. Senator John Williams (R-Delaware).
With its high head crown and great scratch paint on the birds
back, this would make an excellent addition to any Virginia
collection.
Additional pictures available upon request.
