Strange to notice that Douchkine kept and painted both rigth arms of the speerman in the carrirage at top left.

When I look carefully at  the picture, I am not totally sure that the figures are really painted by Douchkine

I can only see one right arm and one of the woman's leg.
Hopefully larger picture attached

I have only  given the reference that the seller has given, they are not my figures.
Perhaps one of the more experienced collectors within the group can give their opinions.

Beautifully painted figures in the style of Douchkine. No reason for me to doubt their authenticity.

Dear Bob you are looking on the wrong carriage. I wrote "the carriage at top left". That without the ladies. The figure is issued by Hafer and the though is to take away one right arm of the speerman in order to have two slightly different figures.

Dear all,


these have been painted by Douchkine. I have seen them and some more in May 2005 at Drouot and took some pictures I add below.
