French Folk Art Painting of a Squirrel Eating Nuts

About the Item

Great and Fun Folk Art painting of a squirrel eating nuts roughly late 18th century, early 19th century. Painted on linen in a striking antique wooden frame, this sweet painting found me in an antique shop in the south of France many many years ago. Truly special. A few condition issues but such a great piece of folk art. Painting to the eye may feel slightly darker but also depends on room lighting.
