I am used to seeing Gene Murray's bird paintings, however this is different. This looks to be a pencil drawing (cross hatch) of a pirate with his parrot friend. The left is a pencil signature. I have not removed the frame.
15in tall, 13 in wide (frame)
It was in my dad's things, and may have come from my great-grandmother's brother.
