Painted Cigar Box with Wide Eyed Portrait whisk brish and sporting stick figures

and sporting stick figures

discovered the artist at one of those gatherings

as if peering over a cliff and into the future

and as if carrying all of the days events on her shoulders

This one I’m guessing is 1940s or so

Painted Cigar Box with Wide Eyed Portrait whisk brish and sporting stick figuresPurchased from a dealer at Brimfield who always has great things, I really like how the portrait painted on the face of the cigar box looks as if preparing for their secrets to be revealed when one opens the box! And so perhaps just the right box in which to store one's diary, or stash of nude photos or pile of bills! Also stands on end to display just as a painting. 9" x 7 1 2" x 1 7 8". Good condition, with a fine, barely visible split in the wood
