SOLD Carved Articulated Folk Art Figure with Goofy Face renaissance style painting and then nailed on keel

and then nailed on keel underneath with great lead weight nailed on top of that

and in great structural shape

The cup shows some age and a bit of dryness to the wood

which I most definitely would be inclined to do

assisted by a contingent of soldiers

SOLD Carved Articulated Folk Art Figure with Goofy Face renaissance style painting and then nailed on keelI really love this guy, clearly an old one, carved of pine which has developed a wonderfully warm dry patina over the years, and with this surprisingly goofy face, made so pretty much entirely by his very lopsided smile. As such, he really feels quite singular, and reflective of a particular maker who was probably a bit goofy themself! With a terrifically rounded form to the head and torso that feels just right and gives him an excellent profile. Arms
