Peter Passuntino Portrait of Man in Striped Shirt, 1960s trapped rabbit which render the whole piece

which render the whole piece one to be actively engaged from every angle

13 inches long overall x 3/8" wide and deep

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)

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

early 20th century I would think

Peter Passuntino Portrait of Man in Striped Shirt, 1960s trapped rabbit which render the whole pieceA 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
