Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting Black Forest carvings with wear to the surface

with wear to the surface of the cardboard sleeve as pictured

I try to resist purchasing larger things

I've never seen another carnival knock down quite like this one

and then creamy white paint for the whites of the eyes

Some loss of black paint around the edges

Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting Black Forest carvings with wear to the surfaceJust in time for spring, and so pretty I think, plus the very existence of irises always kind of amazes me. I love the abundance of spiky dark green leaves here too. Just right. Oil on unstretched canvas, 14" x 9", earlyish 20th c. I would guess. A bit of old creasing along the left edge but lies flat now and is overall in very good condition; could be framed or just pinned or clipped by the corners to the wall.
