    DESCRIPTION & CONDITION
    This auction is for a  beautiful, vintage, bisque porcelain plaque by well listed western artist ERNEST BERKE.  Berke was an American self taught artist who grew up in Harlem, New York city and was fascinated by the west and created many works in different mediums, had magazine write-ups and published books.  Many believe he should be held up alongside the masters of western art. For more information on Berke, read his biography on "ernestberkeart.com" which will give you a look into his life.  This item is beautifully done in a bas-relief method with great detail, which gives it a sculpture like 3-D affect.  It has an engraved signature and year and t
    here are no other marks to determine it's maker or how many were produced.
    It is in perfect condition with some minor signs of age on the backside.  I have not seen others like it, so I will assume it to be a one of a kind made by the artist or possibly an open edition piece.
    This piece is untitled, however, based on this subject and other pieces of his, I have titled it as marked above. This beautiful, quality piece will make a great addition to any western themed art collection.  A REAL BEAUTY!  Look over photos carefully as they are part of description and ask questions before bidding.
