The weird and wonderful New Orleans folk art of Dr. Bob was one of the brave 9th Ward souls who stayed behind for Hurricane Katrina. He battled looters and infection, but came out on top and is back in action. We hope to be adding many more pieces in the coming weeks, so check back often. These paintings are not only great New Orleans memorabilia, but would make a great showpiece with a positive message in your bar, juke joint, or music venue. Description of this piece: Offered here is giclee print in a hand painted frame by Dr. Bob depicting blue legend Robert Johnson. The frame is hand painted and is adorned with bottle caps.

The dimensions (from the outer border of the frame) are approximately 13 x 13. The condition is excellent.

19th C American Antique Folk Art Hand Carved Painted Kinetic Hinged Wooden Doll

RARE EARLY-MID 19TH CENTURY AME RI CAN ANTIQUE FOLK ART HAND CARVED, HAND. PAINTED KINETIC WOODEN DOWEL HINGED. WOOD DOLL, WITHOUT ORIGINAL. 19th century Ame ri can antique hand carved & paint decorated hinged wooden figurative dolls. 12″ Height x 2 ½” Width x 2 ¾ Depth. Absolutely untouched and undisturbed overall antique condition and recently discovered in a New England estate. It remains in wonderfully well-preserved overall condition, without its original fabric period clothing but with its painted head and painted upper shoulders and neck, largely unscathed and completely intact. All wooden limbs and wood pin hinged legs and arms are fully working, intact and present. The original paint of the doll showcases the anticipated, traditional mid-19th century Victorian female hair style and neckline, where her linen blouse would have began, just where the white paint is seen ending on her upper chest. Her hair is cleanly parted down the middle and the two sides hide her ears, in the traditional, modest and still largely Puritan sensibility toward the sublimation of a woman’s natural beauty, where ears were regarded as too erotic and sexual to show and reveal. Hands and feet are sublimated to the larger forms of arms and legs. Blue and red paint are used for the lips and eyes. The wood has a naturally aged, dry finish and the enamel paint is largely intact, free of flaking or diminishment that the harmful effects of sunlight, heat or cold regularly cause such old and antique painted wooden items. Simply extraordinary and an exquisite and magnificent example of mid-19th century Ame ri can hand carved and hand painted figurative wooden folk art. Very Good to Excellent overall antique condition.
