Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting Black Forest carvings and then creamy white paint

and then creamy white paint for the whites of the eyes

I'm anything but an expert on ledger drawings

15 1/2" t x 5" w and aside from the clean loss of one ear there is a well repaired split to his chest

keeping it from spinning while up on the wall

Some loss of black paint around the edges

Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting Black Forest carvings and then creamy white paintJust in time for spring, and so pretty I think, plus the very existence of irises always kind of amazes me. I love the abundance of spiky dark green leaves here too. Just right. Oil on unstretched canvas, 14" x 9", earlyish 20th c. I would guess. A bit of old creasing along the left edge but lies flat now and is overall in very good condition; could be framed or just pinned or clipped by the corners to the wall.
