Description
Leaping Brook Trout Carving
Ed Towns
Yarmouth, ME and possibly MI c. 1950

Author Ronald S. Swanson describes this exact fish carving in his fish model treatise as "a beautifully painted and carved...brookie." This important carving shows exceptional coloration with relief carved mouth and gills, and incised fins and tail. Only a handful of works by this accomplished maker's works have ever surfaced. The carving reveals the maker's signature "EST" camouflaged initials behind the dorsal fin.

Provenance: Private Collection, Maine

Literature: Ronald S. Swanson, "Fish Models, Plaques & Effigies," Far Hills, NJ, 2009, p. 72, fig. 100, exact fish illustrated.
