I too have a sad circus clown painting on the same board material. It was said to have been won in a card game 50 years ago and to be of Emmett Kelly. However, the painting seems to be of a much younger man than Emmett was in 1950. I posted on the Emmett Kelly Facebook site and was surprised to get a response from Emmett's son in law who said it did not look like Emmett although it seems to me to be very like a young :Weary Willie" image. So now I am left wondering. Matthew did you make any progress in your research?
