Chanticleer, the rooster character from fables, comes to life in this theorem painting by Gerri Kingsford.  Theorem painting, also called theorem stencilling, was first developed in England, and was popular in colonial New England.  The artwork begins with the making of a stencil.  The stencil is then used to paint the design onto fabric. This piece, created by Kingsford in the mid-1990s, is in excellent condition with a lovely wood frame. There is a small tear in the paper backing. On the paper backing are the words: Chanticleer, Theorems by Gerri, Gerri Kingsford, 9/92. 

Details:  Theorem measures 7 1/2" by 8 1/2"; framed measures 9" x 9".
