| Title | Drawing with red flowers and blue table |
| Dates | 1890-1899 |
| Abstract | This still life with a pot of red flowers on a windowsill, a blue table and chair, and a bird in a cage is one of several done on the back of advertisements for Ayer's Pills, a cure for bilious disorders sold by Farr and Tandy of Goshen, New Hampshire, where the Nelson brothers lived. The drawing is unsigned but is very similar to another signed by Arthur Nelson and it has been inferred that Arthur drew this one as well. |
| Notes | The item is undated but the finding aid indicates the entire collection was likely created during the 1890s. |
