29" RARE All-Original RAVCA c1940 BEETHOVEN is OOAK
Composition Face Museum Piece VERY RARE
One-of-a-kind Famous Composers were created by Bernard & Frances Ravca circa 1940 (we're offering three others: Mozart, Wagner, Haydn) See our other auctions for them. Beethoven's head is hand-modeled papier-mache on a stuffed body with wire armature inside and stockinet hands with stitch-indicated fingers (top of right hand has a .5"x 1" hole and a .5" run, mostly hidden by his coat sleeve). The face is realistically hand-painted with molded painted black hair. Beethoven's circa 1840 costume was hand-made by the artists with a navy-blue serge frock coat, grey flannelette pants, rose-colored heavy brocade vest with enameled buttons, full shirt with standing collar, and black oilcloth shoes. The Ravcas certainly produced an apt portrait of the brooding composer!!
Very clean from a non smoking home. Museum quality VERY RARE
