With painted backdrop that feels rather at odds but also somehow just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 3\/4\" x 2 1\/2\". Good condition, with some light surface scratching more on the lower half but no notable dings or bends. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47614524686590,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_8668.png?v=1765317118","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/young-man-in-apron-and-crown-like-hat-moody-and-poetic-feeling-antique-tintype-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
