Lithograph on paper, the sheet 20" by 14 3/4" (24" by 20" as framed), in black with blue color especially at bottom, not signed in pencil nor in the plate, by important French 20th century woman artist MARIE LAURENCIN (1885-1956). On the reverse is written in pencil in French handwriting "M. Laurencin/j. fille au chien/lith. orig." ("young girl with dog/original lithograph"). The image is typical of the work of this noted artist...
A truly beautiful circa 1890 print of elegant Parisians strolling past and perusing the famous Bouquiniste bookstalls along the banks of the Seine River, not signed in plate nor in pencil but certainly by a listed or even important and well-known artist. To date, reverse image searches and other internet research have, frustratingly, not revealed the identity of that artist. There are no watermarks...

A PAIR of old engravings from the Passion of Christ series of 14, engraved originally in 1521 by Dutch old master engraver LUCAS VAN LEYDEN (1494-1533). My research leads me to believe these two are apparently later impressions printed on wove rather than laid paper, by noted Flemish engraver Jan Harmansz Muller (1571-1628). (Wove, as opposed to "laid" paper, was not invented until the mid 18th century). The talented Muller made skilled and faithful copies after earlier artists' works...

Kotozakura Masakatsu (1940 – 2007) was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler who made his professional debut in 1959, reaching the top division in 1963...
