This is a recent purchase. The artist Abe Patterson is well known. This piece measures 10 1/2" tall. I was surprised that I couldn't any examples to reference a price. Any thoughts?
LOL! While I won't call a moose "cute," that one does have an extraordinarily benign expression. I think her name is Miranda...
The artist may have been well known in a small market area. His works are online , but they don't seem to have been traded in a long time.
This article mentions a piece being sold. It doesn't tell the price, but it does say they negotiated the price for 13 years before make a deal. I'm assuming it was a considerable amount of money. However, the piece is clearly way nicer and larger than my moose. There is one like mine on worthpoint. http://www.champlaintrailmuseum.com/docs/Summer Newsletter 2014.pdf
