Personally I've really come to embrace such flaws on pieces like this

The one is housed in a vintage medicine bottle with graduated measure in the sides

and especially those with overt repairs that show the care and creativity of their prior owners--of which this is a great example

Still pretty great

2 3/16" t x 1 3/4" w x 3/4" d and in very good condition

Red Hat on Snowy Street, Antique Painting with Heavy Impasto on Academy Board porcelain fish head Personally I've really come toI love the moodiness of this old oil on board painting, which feels like winter desolation but for the scarlet red hat or scarf pulled over the head of the figure otherwise all in black at center right, which for me transforms it into a narrative painting: what is her story?! The thick impasto enhances a sense of drama, as does the road turning a corner in the distance, leading somewhere into the future! 10 3 16" x 8 1 8", oil on board. Unsigned
