This is a painting by Laiche that is of a little shack in the swamp that he painted on a 100 year old piece of rock slate from a roof that came from Europe . I have seen some of his other work but never of this picture in the swamp. On the bottom right of the painting is looks to be signed by Pierre Louis Laiche and there is a date next to it showning '78.
There are also 2 holes that I assume were used to used to attatch something to hang it from the wall. I don't know if they were made after the painting was bought by someone other than the artist. It also looks like at the top center of the painting and on the top left side some of the slate might have chipped off , again not sure if it came that way or if they are wear and tear damage. Also on the back there is a peice of what looks to be some kind of cardboard that is glued to the back as cushion when it is hung from a wall.
I am looking for some kind of an appraisal as to the condition and the value of the painting as well as the rariety of this painting compared to how often that the ones seen of clowns are.
