This is pure Ira Yeager, the California painter who returned again and again to French provincial animals rendered with folk-art warmth and a streak of humor. The black border with its white speckled finish is the artist's signature edge treatment, a trademark he developed early on when he could not yet afford frames, and over time it became part of the painting itself. Signed Ira Yeager lower center. A large, joyful piece for a Napa farmhouse, a country kitchen, or any room that likes a little irreverence. See less
