- Description
- Three French Canadian carved figures in wood, hand painted. (a) a bespectacled priest in brown cassock and robes, small black skull cap bent wire pince-nez glasses, belt and crucifix painted on, carrying an open Bible which has been glued to his hands. (b) a bent backed, bowlegged older man, wearing brown pants, black jacket over red vest and white shirt with black tie, a black toque on his head, black shoes, a sour expression on his face. (c) a rotund older woman wearing brown dress with full skirt, black hemmed, a calf-length apron of black with blue and red vertical stripes, a white blouse visible at the bodice, and a necklace of roses. She is white haired, hair tied in a bun, and has a smiling expression, arms crossed. All are cut in deft, sure, simple wood carver's strokes, are caricatured slightly, and are strongly painted.
