Bentley Chappell and Nancy Barshter at Aesthetic Antiques have a wide offering of fable materials. This was the least expensive. I am unsure of how we are to understand the side opposite the clear presentation of OR. The main side itself is puzzling. Is the oak bending over in the wind? If so, the bird further in the foreground seems unaffected, and the tree seems to be holding its own.
