Description
Leaping Brook Trout
A. Elmer Crowell (1862-1952)
East Harwich, MA, c. 1930
A rare fish carving by Crowell that measures eight inches across mounted on a thirteen-and-one-quarter-inch-long oval plaque. The painted water motif plaque has a beveled edge and a rectangular stamp on the back. The fish has carved mouth and gill detail and an early, anatomically-correct glass eye.
Original paint has a coat of sealer with two faint drips running down the plaque. The dorsal fin has a faint age line, the pectoral has been reset, the anal fin is missing and a portion of the pelvic fin is missing. Minor scratch to tail.Private Collection, Midwest
