| Description, including signature and date |
| This is another fanciful crucifixion scene by the
amazing Carl
Worner, better known for his saloon
scenes. This one is very similar to the one
possibly made in Norwalk, CT, and has features similar to the one signed
with Hanau (Germany). The arms of the bodies are attached to the
back of the shoulders, like wings, and the faces are drawn in fine
pencil. The crosses are plain and the decoration is made with
Victorian-style stickers and cutouts. Signed and dated "K. Worner
1890" on the back (below). A fourth Worner crucifixion bottle shown
on this website is larger and all decorated with pencil; it is not
signed or dated. |
