I don't know anything about this painting other than it came out of an old bar. The rabbit seems to be "charcoal" in color and the painting without frame is approx. 24"x18." It's very detailed and realistic. At first it looked to be on "linen" but I don't believe that’s the case. The only marking I can see is the number 1502 and the initial A with a D inside of it.
Copper Sculpture
Description:
I have had this copper sculpture for about 7 years and acquired it from an estate sale. The person at the estate sale couldn't tell me anything about it except that she thought it was circa 1940's and came from Europe during, or just after WW2. The piece is signed on the back with "Mickel Laude." I have never been able to find out anything about Laude. Overall height is 10-1/2", which includes the spear - width at widest point is 2-3/4". I am hoping you can shed some light on this interesting and unique piece.
