Enoch Reindahl Canada Goose Silhouette

Enoch Reindahl (1904-2000) Stoughton, WI, c. 1930 32 in. long

An exceptionally well-painted goose decoy with fine brushed and combed feather detail. Separating this silhouette from perhaps all others, the masterful painter used trompe l'oeil shading to add a feeling of volume.

The head has an adjustable angle and can be tucked inside the two halves of the fiber-board body. The right side of the belly is signed by the maker. Original paint with light gunning wear, including a few flakes mostly on right side.
