This example is numbered 803/950. The supremely patient, stoic Eskimo woman stands above a hole in the ice, and the fish haul is laid out on that ice. The print measures 20 1/2" by 32" inside the mat (one of the artist's larger prints) and 30" by 41" as framed...

A circa 1970 painting of a plaza in Paris, 22 1/2" by 26" in silver and black framing, signed at lower left with what appears as "Lietti". The work is in the style of many of the Montmartre tourist painters of the time, but is unusual in that it is painted in grays, blacks, white, and a grayish tan at far right. This Minimalist palette would lend it to being room-friendly in your Mid Century setting...

These are just lovely works, the fresh greenery of the season beautifully captured by an obviously talented artist. Prochazka's major, large works have actually exceeded $100,000 at auctions in Europe...

Black and white original photo of ballerinas, variously titled "Ballerinas in a Dressing Room", or "Ballerinas Backstage, American Ballet Theater in New York", 1937, by the noted American photographer ALFRED EISENSTAEDT (1898-1995). The photo was likely printed much later (many of Eisenstaedt's images were re-printed years after they were originally created).

A large and impressive oil on canvas landscape painting created in 1984 by the noted Spanish impressionist master artist JULIAN GRAU SANTOS (1937-). The flickering brush has left colorful dabs that pull together to form a most beautiful painting, a painting large enough to be the centerpiece of your room. The work measures 32" by 39" (39" by 46" in gold framing). It is signed at lower left, and on the reverse is titled "La casa junto a la roca"...

For the collector of scarce early Utah art, an oil on canvas, 22" by 18" on the stretchers (29" by 25" in old, likely original frame), dated 1928 and titled on reverse "Timpanogos Creek", signed lower left by the noted Utah artist BENT FRANKLIN LARSEN (1882-1970).

Oil on canvas scene of a Parisian street with figures, in the early 20th century, 24" by 20" (30" by 25 1/2" framed), signed at lower right by the popular contemporary painter who signs as "G. SHERMAN". The scene is reminiscent of Caillebotte's famous scenes of Paris, or perhaps of a number of works by the noted British painter L. P. Lowry. Paintings signed by this artist G...

This is a pretty, impressionist circa 1930's small landscape painting of trees and a path bordering water, painted on gray art board, measuring 9" by 12" (13 1/2" by 16" framed). There is no signature on the front but on the art board label is written in ink "Swick". This may or may not be the artist. The painting is so nicely executed, but its inherent beauty is dulled by decades of dirt. A professional cleaning will truly transform this one...

An oil on canvas, beautifully-sketchy, spontaneous painting of a small beached boat at the ocean, as-is condition, 8" by 14" (11 1/2" by 17 1/2" in attractive probably original circa 1920 frame), signed at lower right by the noted California painter ANGEL ESPOY (1879-1963).

Pastel or oil pastel on velvet landscape of the Philippines, the sun setting dramatically over a distant peak, a traditional thatched house at right, signed at lower left "Igning Sarmiento Manila 68". There is a known Sarmiento artist in the Philippines but I am not sure that this is by that artist. The size is 17 1/2" by 24" on the stretchers and 20" by 26" framed. The handling of the color in the sky as the sun disappears and night comes on is exquisite. Condition is excellent, no damage n...

Oil on canvas laid on board, 19 1/2" by 14 1/2" (22 1/2" by 17 1/2" in simple wood frame), the subject a courtyard of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) of old New Orleans. The painting is a fine impressionist rendition and is larger than many of Kinsey's typical courtyard and street scene studies. The artist, ALBERTA KINSEY (1875-1952) is considered one of the founders of the New Orleans art colony. Born in Ohio, she undertook formal study at the Art Institute of Chicago, then became an art in...

Gouache on paper still life with iris and porcelain figurine of a woman, 20" by 15 1/2" and narrow gold frame of the period, signed at lower left with what appears to be "g. r. becker", and bearing in German script a Christmas (Weihnachten) 1941 dedication, the work apparently given as a gift, on the reverse framing paper. I do not see a listing for a name that would match this signature so am offering this as a decorative work. The condition is excellent as this appears to have never been op...
