Vintage Lamb Pull Toy - German Putz, bell, stick legs, pink ribbon


Antique German Putz Lamb Pull Toy
6x6 inches oil on panel
Nostalgia is an indulgence which I hope to recall with this charming little pull toy, her wooly body, cloth head and bell tied with a frayed ribbon all depict details which many a child has handled and studied as closely as I have here. She’s seen many happy years being tugged along by a little hand. . . .

    This is a fascinating painting, partly because of the nostalgic object and also because of the simple composition. Wonderful job you did!

    Thank you, Diana! This was such a joy to paint, and I chose a muted palette to enhance the nostalgic appearance. I appreciate your nice comments! Thanks, Jeanne
