From a very early age, Frederick loved numbers. Their predictability and stability comforted him in a world that felt overwhelming and chaotic. As he grew older, he spent more and more time in the back room of his father's store, poring over the old logbooks and creating new methods to track the orders and deliveries. While other boys his age dreamed of venturing out on their own and traveling across the world, Frederick was happy to stay put and keep his world in order.

He never married, but was great friends with Henrietta all his life. Even as the rest of the boys were enamored of her beauty, Frederick loved the kindness and gentleness she brought to everyone. Only a visit from Henrietta could pull Frederick out of the back room and put a smile on his face.

One of my latest obsessions is going to estate sales and antique malls to find a frame that perfectly matches my fancy bird portraits. This custom giclée print of Frederick the Toucan has been mounted in a frame that matches his stately vibe.

Frame size: ~13 in x 13in
