Ernest Young Man Tenderly Holding Chicken, c. 1940s-50s Snapshot Art Deco ceramics who has been the sourcePortraits of very sincere looking boys holding farm chickens is one of my very favorite genres ever!

Sweet and tender. 5 1 8" x 3 1 16". Clipped corners as evident, and some toning as evident.
