Josephus Roesling Pintail Hen
Very rare pintail hen by Joe Roesling (Alameda, CA) ca. 1910. There appears to be a second coat of early paint. With the extensive scratch painting that Roesling is known for, this is undoubtedly by the maker. Stylish snakey head form. Measures just over 15” in length. See page 296 of Wildfowl Decoys of California by Michael Miller. A rare opportunity for this highly collectable early California maker.
