Oil on rough weave canvas scene of figures in a hazy landscape, 15" by 30" (20" by 35" framed), signed at lower right by English-born artist who later came to be more closely associated with Ireland, ANTHONY "TONY" KLITZ (1917-2000). This work, dating to 1975 as we see from a reverse copyright stamp of the artist, is rather typical of the artist's style...

A very interesting and unusual painting, appearing to be gouache on a prepared gessoed panel (and the piece is accordingly quite heavy for its size), featuring Native American indian dancers and onlookers in the Southwest, likely Navajos of New Mexico or northeastern Arizona. The 22 1/2" by 27" unframed work is signed at lower right "Arline Wyrick". A quick google search did not reveal any obvious links to a known artist, but she was obviously quite skilled, and this bears further research...

Antique hand-painted miniature depicting "Napoleon at the Fontainebleau, 31 March 1814" after renowned artist Paul Delaroche. The intricate details and superb craftsmanship of this 19th-century artwork are truly remarkable. It is signed on the wafer panel's front and back.

This beautiful miniature painting has been meticulously hand-painted using gouache on a natural wafer panel.

It is presented in an oval-shaped, elaborate ormolu bronze frame with original convex glass...

An impressive, good sized (inside the mat measurements 28 3/4" by 21 1/4", and 35 1/4" by 27 1/4" as framed in silvery metal behind Plexi) lithograph of images of fractured/destroyed/recomposed violins, a recurring theme in the popular imagery and sculpture work by the French-born contemporary artist ARMAN (1928-2005)...

Oil on canvas laid on board portrait painting of a young girl in a fine blue dress with lacy edge, circa 1875 (possibly, earlier?), apparently unsigned, I feel likely American or perhaps French origin; hard to say. The antique work, 40" by 19 1/2" (45" by 25 1/2" framed) has a folky ambience to it, in the American east coast tradition, but I suppose we should not eliminate its being of European origin...

Circa 1885, original oil painting on a board panel of a stag in snow scene by artist A. Huff. Painting is in excellent antique condition with the colors still being vibrant.

Measures:
Framed 12.75" x 19.25
Sight Size 5.75" x 12.25"

Oil on canvas, 12" by 18" (15" by 21" as framed), the subject a subtly rendered impressionist scene of large trees by a wide river, with just scant human activity present in the form of a few figures in a tiny boat in the middle distance, and a structure on the far shore. Executed in a silvery, cool palette of grays, tans and greens, this is a typical work of the well listed Scottish artist ROBERT RUSSELL MACNEE (1880-1952)...

Persian Illuminated Page 18th Century hand calligraphy and hand painted flower study. Measuring 16x12 inches

Vintage oil on canvas impressionist landscape with rounded low mountains, a country road passing red barns, 25" by 30" (29 1/2" by 34 1/2" framed), signed at lower right corner with what appears as "D Tutis" or "D Totis" or similar. Although the work resembles that of Vermont painter Earl A. Titus (1895-1962), the signature does not correspond with how he signed. So we have a mystery work here...

Oil on board, likely Canadian painting of a curling scene on a large ice rink with a large number of spectators and players, painted very competently in a very charming folk-art style, signed at lower right "S. S. Heath" and dated there 1973. The work reminds a bit of the whimsical folky Canadian paintings of Allen Sapp or William Kurelek. Suprisingly, I see absolutely no information or auction record for any artist of this name. The work measures 16" by 20" and 20" by 24" as framed...

A large (extreme dimensions 64 1/2" by 48 1/2"), colorful work I am tempted to call a "wall sculpture painting", by noted contemporary California artist JOHN ROSE. The impressive piece could grace an institutional setting, as indeed many sculptures by the artist now find themselves in hotels and other public spaces and corporate collections. The photos do not give justice to the three dimensionality of the piece, the strips of painted wood layered in complex patterns...

A charming pastel portrait by Dorothy Colles which was commisioned for a "Trufood" advertizing poster. Dorothy Colles (1917-2003) was, according to an obituary in the Independent newspaper,"gifted in portraits of children". She has exhibited through the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Portrait Painting. There is a water 'splash' above the head of the boy which we have not attempted to restore. Otherwise excellent condition. The picture 19.5 inches by 17.3 inches (49.5cm by 44cm)

Color lithograph on paper, the sheet 12 3/4" by 9 3/4" (17 1/2" by 15" in attractive silvery framing), signed only in the plate and dated nearby Octobre 46, by important French 20th century woman artist MARIE LAURENCIN (1885-1956). The edition of 950 examples, now scarce, was printed by Publ. Beres, Paris, for the album "Sainte Catherine--Poemes de Paul Eluard". The image is typical of the work of this noted artist...

This circa 1918 work is by artist Pierre Ori...
