Gorgeous matching pair of vintage hand-carved wooden folk art figures by Quebec sculptor Claude Caron, each signed “C Caron” on the base.
These wonderful Canadian folk art carvings depict a traditional Québécois man and woman. The gentleman is portrayed carrying a wooden pail, while the woman holds a wonderfully detailed woven basket.
Each figure measures approximately 10 inches tall.
The carvings display lovely individual character, particularly in the expressive faces, clothing, hands, basket and accessories.
The natural wood grain and contrasting finish beautifully emphasize the hand-carved details.
Claude Caron is associated with the celebrated wood-carving tradition of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, an area renowned for generations of accomplished Canadian wood sculptors.
