Ok, my mom has this velvet type wall hanging of Dogs playing poker, there is no artist name or anything, but she's had it forever, and i know its pretty popular now. I haven't seen anything like it around. its about 5' x 3' long, the thing is huge, and its in Great condition. Does anyone know where i can get any info on it. Its the origional picture, with one of the dogs tearing the pool table covering.

By the way, I've also learned that it is from artist named Arthur Sarnoff and its named Jack the Ripper.

Here's a little background. The artist is Cassius Coolidge; he painted dogs doing a lot of human things.

The artist is Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, he died in 1934 and did a series of nine paintings of Dogs Playing Poker. His paintings inspired american illustrator Arthur Sarnoff who is famous for Dogs Playing Pool.

No it's not an original it's a reproduction. There's MILLIONS of those out there.
If it were the original it would have been signed.
