Happy Clown

0. No Binding. Painting, An original vintage oil on wood portrait by L. Gonjean that is signed and measures 15" x 17", in an ornate gilded frame. Our clown is clad in a yellow suit with a white collar, brightened by sky blue polka dots. He wears a ,too small, bright yellow hat with orange polka dots. He's enjoying the scent of the rose he's smelling, as depicted by his closed eyes and rapturous smile. The frame has a lot of detail and surrounds the portrait as though it's making a grand entrance into a room. Quite eye catching. The frame has some chipping of the gilt, exposing the white undercoat; however no major damage. Very Good.

Old Man Wearing a Taqiyah

0. No Binding. Painting, An original oil on canvas painting of a middle eastern bearded man, an older man wearing a taqiyah (skull cap).His stare is unwavering and intense, much like an older Rade Serbedzija. We are saying this is French as the frame is marked Made in France. The painting is not signed, no idea who did it. It measures approx. 6.5" x 9", framed approx. 9.25" x 11.25". Very Good.
