Ned Burgess (NC, 1868-1958), Redhead

Churches Island, North Carolina, circa 1930s, carved and painted wood.

Former collection of Billy Tate.
From the hunting rig of Elijah Tate, Coinjock North Carolina.

The Burgess redheads are smaller than his more common canvasbacks and have an attractive flow about them, a classic form.

Original paint, tight and stable age checks in the body.
