Sleeping Canada Goose by Ralph Laurie (1883–1964; Hingham, MA)
 
You can really tell Laurie and Joe Lincoln were friends and hunting partners. This bird truly shows Lincoln's influence. A fine example of a sleeping Canada goose. An appealing carving overall.
 
Fresh from an old-time MA collection that was collected and upgraded over 50+ years.
 
Excellent and original paint with feathering on back and sides, soft mellow patina.
 
Measures 5" long.
