[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 2877845, member: 85693"]I picked up one of these a while back. Mine is a fourrée I'm pretty certain.

Glad you guys are posting this stuff ("crumbs" or not!). I might be flattering myself, but I thought this example had a finer style than most of them I've seen - the portrait is less cartoonish than some. It is still pretty crumby though.
