Hand Painted Plywood Santa Display
40.5 x 24 inches. A large-scale hand-painted Christmas lawn ornament or porch display depicting a waving Santa Claus. The figure is constructed from a single sheet of plywood, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, and is cut to the silhouette of the subject. The front is hand-painted in a mid-century folk art style, featuring a jolly Santa in a traditional red suit with a wide black belt, green mittens, and black buckled boots. The face is stylized with cherry-pink cheeks and a wide smile, while the white fur trim and beard are rendered with blue-gray shading to suggest depth. The reverse of the plywood is unfinished, showing a natural wood grain and a small circular hole near the center possibly for a previous mounting bracket. There are no maker marks, signatures, or manufacturer labels visible on the front or back of the piece.
