14" x 13.5" x 7.5".

St.-Etienne-des-Gres, Mauricie, Quebec. C. 1960. Carving of a brown spotted bird, with head, beak and neck carved from a single branch, metal wings and dowel legs. Corriveau used scrap wood and metal in most of his work, with branches from sapling trees for legs and folded and shaped tin (from cans etc.) for the ears of animals and the wings of birds. He preferred marbles for the eyes of many of his animals and birds. Corriveau was the cover artist of ‘Les Patenteux du Quebec’ (the "bible" of Quebec folk art) and there is an extensive article about him and his work in the book. Unsigned as are all Pierre Corriveau pieces.

Good condition.

Softwood, sheet metal.
