Wonderful Old Hand-carved, Painted Man with Glasses carving by rita and then what looks rather

Wonderful Old Hand-carved, Painted Man with Glasses carving by rita and then what looks ratherA charmer of an old carving, with this dapper fellow looking to me as if about to accept an important award, perhaps a Pulitzer, or an Oscar, or the Nobel Prize!
