A whimsical and meticulously rendered oil on board portrait, this piece presents a dapper squirrel in full regalia, set against a stark black background. Encased in a striking Jacobean oak frame, the painting exudes a sense of historical charm and playful anachronism. The squirrel, with its bright eyes and attentive expression, is depicted wearing a green coat with a yellow lapel, complete with an acorn-shaped medal, lending the piece a touch of satirical elegance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the squirrel's fur and the subtle textures of the clothing. The presence of a "B.M." wax stamp on the back adds an element of mystery and provenance to the work.This portrait is a captivating conversation piece, blending elements of portraiture, animal art, and historical allusion."
