First Class Folk Art Acrobat Whirligig

First rate folk art whirligig in the form of an acrobat with red face paint, a red and white uniform and blue paddles. The original paint surface is in a remarkable state of preservation and maintains a complex craquelure and patination—one of the very best I have seen.

HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES AVAILABLE.

Condition: Excellent with expected wear from age and use with minor losses to the paint on the blue paddle.
