Ten Little Old Erzgebirge Carved and Hand-painted Wooden Pigs Haitian oil painting I found this one along

I found this one along with the sights of Rockland Maine drawing just listed--both done one pre-printed pages from some sort of booklet of art lessons

whose students made them in the early 1970s

though it appears to be unsigned

I really love this old hand holding a ball between two fingers just as an object to set anywhere

but also for its lineage among what one imagines are many thousands of similar photos taken at this tree over many many years

Ten Little Old Erzgebirge Carved and Hand-painted Wooden Pigs Haitian oil painting I found this one alongI have to think this collection of 10 antique German hand carved and painted little wooden pigs was formed over time, gathering a pig or two from various sets of farm animals. And quite a wonderful collection I think it is, with a range of sizes and varieties, all of them quite old I believe, and very charmingly painted, and lending themselves to all sorts of arrangements. (And, happily, some balance well on the backs of others!) Very sweet. Largest
