Roger Bourgault, Wood Sculpture, Man with Fiddle

This is a wonderful Roger Bourgault (Canadian, 1938-2008) hand carved wooden sculpture of a gentleman playing a fiddle or violin.  Signed by the artist on the base. I'm unsure of the type of wood but it is in excellent condition. 

Since the 1930s, the Bourgault family of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec has been world renowned for wood sculpture. Roger Bourgault is a well known master carver and son of Andre Bourgault, one of the original "Les trois berets".
