[CHAMBERLAIN, SARAH].

Alphabet. Original watercolor painting.

1982 Lush 20 1/2 by 15 3/4-inch painting of the alphabet surrounded by a thicket of leaves, tall grass, and wildflowers. Among the leaves are two birds, a squirrel, a pair of butterflies, and bees, while in the grass sit a rabbit and a field mouse. The capital letter alphabet is in pale yellow, and it sits squarely at the center of the painting, in a clearing framed by the leaves and the horizon. Sarah Chamberlain is a well-known artist and book illustrator who studied with Barry Moser and Leonard Baskin, and from the mid-70s to the mid-80s ran the Chamberlain Press. Her work has illustrated numerous texts, from Aesop and the brothers Grimm to Charles Simic and many miniature books. This painting is matted in medium blue and set in a simple oak frame. Very fine.
