I've never seen anything quite like this in an antique oil. The artist chose to have this regal animal bare its teeth, and I don't know what's going on with its tongue. He's so odd and comical that I love him. He's sure to be a conversation piece in your home.
Both the reverse of the canvas, and the wooden stretcher strips, are signed by the artist in pencil. I am not certain of the name. It is either Blanche M. Belches, or Belcher. There is also some other information scrawled beneath her name. I can't discern it, but maybe you will have better luck Ct than we did!
This buck has twelve points on his large antlers, which in deer terminology means he is a "royal stag". This may be the artist's interpretation of the famous painting of a stag called "The Monarch of the Glen", an oil-on-canvas painting of a red stag completed in 1851 by painter Sir Edwin Landseer of England. Landseer was chosen to paint the stag as part of a series of three panels to hang in London's Palace of Westminster. As one of the most popular paintings Throughout the 19th century it sold widely in reproductions in steel engraving, since it was one of the most popular paintings during that the me period. Eventually it was purchased by a series of different companies to use in their advertising.

CRONE AND HAG
You’ll have to guess which one of us the Crone and which is the Hag. Suffice it to say, we’ve been selling antiques for a L O N G Time. You never know what the Crone and Hag will dig up. Always scroll through the entire auction.
Please don’t ask the Crone or the Hag to help you carry your items to your car, or strap them in. We’re old and can’t put our frail constitutions through the rigors of item transport. Besides, it’s against regulations. If you bought something heavy, or bulky, bring a friend to help you. It will make the drive to pick up more fun, and your friend can marvel at your exquisite purchase. It will give you something to talk about on the ride home. We also won’t have enough wrapping materials, boxes or bags at pick up. Please come prepared.
We never hide a piece’s glorious imperfections. These items are old and have the mellow shadow of time on them. We try our best to provide meticulous documentation and photography of all damage and wear on what we sell. You will not be disappointed on pick-up day. The Poisoned apple 🍎 pear 🍐 are for size only and not included.
