Finer Art

I recently purchased this original oil painting portrait of this fine animal at a garage sale in Des Moines, Iowa. It had just been brought over by a neighbor lady who had it priced at $5! There had been some kind of applied patina on the ornate frame that had oxidized into sort of a furry mess, but that was easily cleaned. The painting itself was perfect.

It is signed “Baher” but an internet search turned up a few artists of that name but none that did animal portraits. Definitely an oddity. It’s hanging in Flippist World Headquarters now but it may not make it in the long haul, I’ll probably donate it to an owner of an Irish Setter.
