Vintage Brown Glazed Clay Head (Sherrod Brown!) early 19th century painting though a little earlierI purchased this one from the estate of an artist collector dealer activist near me, along with a second head also listed today I've held on to them for a bit, but thought this a good and timely week to list them, especially as this one strikes me as looking very much like a hopeful Sherrod Brown! (And the other like Martin Luther King Jr.) Wonderfully expressive, and hopefully continuing to read as optimistic rather than melancholic for years to come
