Specialist note
“If I could only acquire one decoy, it would be the Hudsonian Curlew,” wrote Donal C. O’Brien, Jr., decoy collector, carver and advisor to David and Peggy Rockefeller, when asked which example from their collection was his favorite (email, 6 October 2010). A charming curlew, this decoy is a fine example of Cobb’s work.
