Title: "The Crab and His Mother" Linocut Print
Description: 2015? Signed, numbered linocut block print of Aesop's Fable "The Crab and His Mother" in black and white by Jillian E. Jenkins of jumpjackstudio, Baltimore, MD, on Etsy. "Live by Example." #2 of 10. 8" x 10". $48.16, July, '20.

This is a bold, strong, delightful presentation. It gives the mother a hat secured under her chin by a bow, along with an umbrella in her claw. She dwarfs her little child as the two look straight at each other. The going straight is the issue here! "Live by example" indeed! The artist writes "I love making art that helps other people to see the world a little differently." That happens well here!
