A rare example in oil depicting the titular character from one of the many popular Cady and
Thornton Burgess book collaborations.This character was introduced in 1917 in the bookThe
Adventures of Paddy the Beaver.The medium suggests that this was not intended as a book
illustration, and shows Paddy smoking his pipe along the bank of a rushing stream with his
woodland friends nearby.
