“Aesop’s Fables: The man and the serpent.”
Description
2015 “Aesop’s Fables: The man and the serpent.” Oil painting. 9.8” x 12. Richard Hubbard. UK. Unknown source.

This is a deeply imaginative presentation, I presume of the man who brought home a frozen snake. In the background shimmers a post industrial scene. The man gives every appearance of struggling, his hands with vines and his feed with barbed wire that may become supple tree branches. Curious stuff! I found anther work of his online that seems quite similar. It sold for 25 pounds. Are we to believe that we have an original painting of his?
