The Gunnarssons of Stockholm, famous Swedish woodcarvers, created a series of notable political figures in the 1960s and 1970s. Among these charming works of art is this likeness of President Harry S. Truman, hand-carved and hand-painted, complete with his wire-rimmed glasses. The Gunnarssons are known for their flat-plane carving, which used only one piece of wood. The statue is signed on the bottom of the left foot. This is a wonderful depiction of “Give ‘Em Hell Harry,” perfect for collectors of presidential history, folk art enthusiasts, and all who love beautiful carved wood.
Measures 8-1/2 inches tall.
Excellent vintage condition.
