Faux Philosopher - 1957

GP Pal Margaret D. tells me:

"I have this painting that I got in about 1957 from an old man who lived alone in a small Ontario city. 
It was given to me by him for giving him his insulin needles each day as I was a Nurse. 
Before he died he asked if there was anything for his house that I would like and I chose the Gay Philosopher. 
I love this little guy and his eyes that follow where ever you go. What are your thoughts on him?"

I hated to break it to Margaret that her painting is a copy, not painted by either Henry Major or Clair V. Fry. 
But she, like I, love it none the less. Thanks for sharing Margaret D!
