Toby the Black Dog, Marvin's 1984 Painted Relief Carving Beau Brummel brush and cornflower blueHandwritten at the very center of the back of the wood panel from which this sweet black dog was carved is TOBY and what a dear and loyal friend Toby must have been. No words necessary to explain the appeal of this one, just a charmer of a painted folk art relief carving and completely winning companion. 11 3 4" t (not including hook) x 5 1 2" wide. Excellent vintage condition. Signed Marvin plus initialed MPF and dated 1984 on reverse.
