This guy must’ve been short to have a 6’ beard dragging on the ground like that, eh? This hand-painted stage canvas is a circa 1940s re-make of an 1800s German side-show panel! Mimicking the original’s lettering and ornaments, this piece preserves an even earlier history than itself! The Hanseatic league was started in medieval times to promote trade within the German communities and towns. Traveling merchants would set up to sell and use side-shows as some extra income! Being that on this specific canvas, a pence is used as the form of payment, it is likely this re-make comes from the UK. Let this piece of layered history and painting masterwork live on in your space! Wear and condition is congruent with age. There are no holes or very apparent damages.
