With delicate raised wings and finely detailed paint, the present Yellowlegs are wonderful examples of Crowell's decorative decoys. It is unusual to have a compiled pair of two decorative yellowlegs, making this example very rare. These two were likely made at the same time and may have been commissioned as a pair. When displayed side by side, the raised wings of these beautiful birds create a wonderful symmetry which further solidifies the likelihood that these birds were made to be displayed together. Both bear Crowell's rectangular stamp, which he used from circa 1927 until his death in 1952.
