Peter Passuntino Portrait of Man in Striped Shirt, 1960s trapped rabbit 6" x 5 " x

6" x 5 " x 5/16" and in good condition

with what looks to me a lamp fashioned from a rifle

I believe most likely it was made to function as a tea caddy (there are some very fine 19th c example of tea caddies in the form of houses)

She shows a vertical split to the surface wood down her front

Good for hanging from one nail on the wall or just setting somewhere--or use it as a door knocker

Peter Passuntino Portrait of Man in Striped Shirt, 1960s trapped rabbit 6" x 5 " xA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this and a second portrait, which I think may both be self portraits. I find them both very full of life, and very human, and the handling of the stripes on this shirt really does it for me! Somehow makes me think both of Alex Katz and Francesco Clemente, really quite beautiful. 13 7 8" x 10 3 4". Ink, inkwash, watercolor, charcoal. Tearing folding along
