Beautifully Carved, Mounted Folk Art Portrait of Man with Bow Tie and Fabulous Hair Conchyliogie systématique et classification méthodique des coquilles Johnson CreekAll the better in person, the carving on this is really quite stunning, especially that hair!!! Politician? Banker? Business owner? Surely some sort of power broker, looking prosperous and ambitious and perhaps a little smug too in his jacket and bow tie and slightly doubled chin. A wonderful addition to a wall of portraits, I'd say, and quite a fun one to carry on an ongoing conversation with; I don't think he'd shy away from a lively debate!
