Actually, there are at least 4 additional Duck oil paintings:

1. "Happy Hour", 1995/1996, a Scrooge portrait, unpublished.
2. "I Wonder What My Fortune Cookie Says", 1996/1997, published in a
Dreidreizehn Ölgemäldekalender, also released as a lithograph.
3. "Old Castle Secret", 1996/1997, published in a Dreidreizehn
Ölgemäldekalender.
4. "Scrooge Smokewriting Dollar Signs", 1997, unpublished.

Plus a handful of Duck watercolors most of which have been published as
lithographs.

I'm not sure, either, to what extent Barks himself was involved in all
those porcelaine and bronze figurines which were released by the "Carl
Barks Studio". It would be interesting to get more information on this
topic.
