June Antiques and Collectibles Consignment
Lot 556:
Description
A circular folk art advertising sign featuring a stylized portrait of a Hereford bull, signed by the artist Jacob Zook. The illustration is executed in a graphic, high-contrast manner using a palette of red, blue-grey, black, and white. The bull is depicted wearing a dark halter against a white ground, enclosed within a thin red circular border. This piece is characteristic of the mid-20th-century Pennsylvania Dutch folk art tradition associated with Lancaster County. The sign is composed of a circular hardboard panel, likely Masonite, with the graphic applied to the front surface. The signature Jacob Zook is present in red cursive script near the bottom center of the image.
