Item Details

Description

Michigan, c. 1920
12 in. long

A redhead drake with deep eye grooves in a drawn-back head. The form and size of this decoy conjure up the work of the great Southern master Lee Dudley (1860-1942). The back paint is finished with vermiculated combing and the underside is branded for the "W. H. FOOT" rig.
Original paint with even gunning wear.

Provenance: Len Carnaghi Collection
