Circa 1950's European oil painting of purple and white lilac in a vase, signed at lower right by artist "A. Teder" (likely German or Scandinavian).

The frame is in good condition but the liner is shredded and missing. You will want to either replace the liner or reframe entirely...

It was likely created by or for a tourist. Note the Native Americans at center in the reflecting pool or fountain. A classic piece of vintage Californiana that just need...

An example of the 1934/35 lithograph "Ruf Des Todes", from the "Death Cycle" series of lithographs by famous German artist KATHE KOLLWITZ (1867-1945).

There is a line from the old mat all around, with the paper within that line lightly browned. The significantly flawed areas...
