French Stone Lithograph by Bob Meyer: Signed and Numbered 1 of 8, Framed

A few wandering ink lines, a bird perched on a head, and a title that does the rest.

Hen on a woman's head looking for her cock is a stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, from France, made around 2009 in ink on handmade paper, signed and numbered 1 of 8 and framed. In lithography the artist draws directly onto a stone with greasy ink or crayon, so the print keeps the quality of the original hand. Here fine, nervous lines suggest a head with a bird settled on top. The title and signature are written in pencil along the bottom. It is 18.75 inches wide and 21.75 high, with an image of 5 by 7.5.

The hen appears determined. The woman appears resigned.
