Pair of small watercolors, one 3 1/2" by 6", the other similar at 4" by 5 3/4", each signed in a corner with monogram, one depicting industrial smoke stacks by a river at sunset, the other a pleasant promenade at river side with decorative lamp posts and arched bridge. The industrial work suggests London; the other could perhaps be Paris. Or both could be the same city. More research could help determine the identity of the artist. Condition is excellent...

A modernist line drawing of a man in thin marker or ink, unsigned, the artist unknown, detail of the face especially indicative of the skill of the artist. The work probably dates to about 1970. Size 7 1/2" by 4" inside the mat, and 10 1/4" by 6 3/4" in silvery wood frame. Condition is excellent. Word "Al" written in pencil on reverse side. There are reflections in the images.

A charming work in watercolor with white gouache highlights, 13 1/2" by 10 1/2" (19" by 16" framed), featuring a young woman in the hugely popular Gibson tradition of the early years of the century, viewing her image in a hand-held decorative Art Nouveau mirror as she applies her lipstick. The work is signed at left "L. B. Hill" and dated 1910. Gibson had many imitators of his illustration style, some very talented and some less talented. This piece would be ideal in a woman's dressing area...

Unframed watercolor on paper laid on paperboard, 13 1/2" by 8 3/4" inside the present old green linen mat, painting of a blacksmith hammering a piece of metal on an anvil, signed at lower right with what appears as "A. Marrani". I do not see a listing for this talented artist. The painting has foxing in the background but it is widely and evenly dispersed and is not obtrusive...

An impressive 17 3/4" by 31 1/2" painting titled "Mount Cook Tasman Valley" (24 3/4" by 38 3/4" as framed), signed at lower right by the noted New Zealand landscape painter ASTON GREATHEAD (1921-2012). This South Island landscape is part of an impressive body of work the artist produced beginning roughly in the mid 1960's. Born in Napier on the North Island, Greathead showed early talent...

Fine watercolor and ink drawing of a dramatic landscape in Carinthia, which is the southernmost part of Austria, the drawing measuring 9 1/2" by 14". The old paper is laid down on 20th century paper, which is in turn glued down to cardboard, and a modern day frame is available at no extra cost...

A highly decorative and good-sized painting on canvas of a vintage motorcycle, painted in a Pop Art style. The work is unsigned and probably dates to the past twenty years. It was painted by a competent artist with training. Unframed, the work measures 30" by 30". Will add an interesting twist to your contemporary interior. Very clean and wall-ready.

A pair of old prints in color---I believe, some sort of lithography process similar to chromolithography in feeling, one featuring the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, the other the Second Empire "Pont au Change" bridge connecting the Ile de la Cite to the Rive Droite. The current bridge was rebuilt between 1856 and 1860 and therefore bears the letter N, the imperial insignia of Napoleon III. It is composed of three 31 meter long arches and is 30 meters wide...

Large vintage watercolor and gouache painting of colorful flowers in a vase guarded on either side by startling white peacocks, 19" by 34 1/2" (26" by 41 1/2" framed), signed at lower left center with initials "VEJ". The work has some age but is not antique. Condition is excellent. A very decorative piece for your interior.

A PAIR of pastel on paper drawings, each measuring 18" by 24", though they are currently in different frames, one 32" by 38", the other 27" by 32 1/2", the optical illusion making one appear larger than the other. Both works are signed with initials "CA" at bottom right. I confirmed with a Swiss auction house that they are not by Swiss artist Cuno Amiet, therefore they are offered as-is, unattributed. Most likely, they are of American origin...

A very finished, beautifully executed pastel of a middle-aged lady, she nicely coiffed and elegant in appearance, the work signed at lower right "CARLES". I have researched the work, (including contacting an acknowledged expert on well-known Pennsylvania artist Arthur Carles Jr. 1882-1952) and she does not feel it has the characteristics to enable it to be called the work of that noted American painter. It is offered as a nicely executed portrait drawing...

A most unusual item and conversation piece: a color print, 26" by 22" as framed, the subject a decorated Christmas tree, titled at top "Joy to the World", "Arnold & Maria" at bottom center, numbered 31/100 examples at lower left margin, and pencil signed at lower right, by none other than one of the most famous people on the planet, Arnold Schwarzenegger...

Highly detailed gouache on silk painting, 7 1/2" by 16 1/4" (11 1/2" by 20 1/2" as framed), unsigned, featuring approximately 75 to 80 figures participating in some kind of ceremonial procession. The work, circa 1960's or 1970's, is framed with bamboo style frame. There is a water stain at lower left in the mat area, which is actually composed of a thin wood veneer...

A color lithograph print, circa 1930 I believe, pencil signed at lower left margin and with printed signature in the margin at right, by the noted Israeli artist ABEL PANN (1883-1963). The subject is a group of primitively-dressed people near a knoll by a body of water surrounded by trees and hills; the central figure seems to be playing a lute in this poetic, Arcadian place. The print may possibly be from the artist's "Bible" series of 1930. Pann was born in Latvia or Belarus...

A brown ink drawing of two standing men in conversation, signed at lower right in Hebrew script. A Hebrew reader tells me the signature could read "Yashkovsky" or "Shaikovsky" or similar. The work measures 8" by 6" (15 1/4" by 13" framed). The drawing was likely executed circa 1960's to 1980. A simple work which demonstrates the skill of the draftsman.

A beautifully executed atmospheric and luminous watercolor painting of a classic scene of Venice, Italy, including the famous St. Marks Campanile and Santa Maria della Salute church, small boats parked along a wharf at sunrise or sunset. The unsigned work (and no information on reverse side) measures 9 1/4" by 16" (14 1/4" by 20 1/4" in gold metal frame). This work is poetic and certainly of a quality that would suggest a listed artist but without a signature we are stymied. A more traditiona...

A pleasant pastel on paper drawing of pink roses, signed at lower right by artist Lora King and dated there '39. On the reverse backing paper the name "Lora King Arnold" is written, and again "Lora Arnold" and original $100.00 price appears. There seems to be minimal information available on the artist (online I did see a 1923-1960 lifespan that may or may not be accurate). The work measures 11 1/4" by 15" (17 1/2" by 21 1/2" in original framing). The drawing is in excellent condition overal...

Original etching "Autumn", featuring a woman with cornucopia hat, surrounded by cherubs presumably after the harvest, 1970, signed in the plate at lower left center by the famous Surrealist artist SALVADOR DALI (1904-1989). This example is printed in sanguine. Albert Fields in his catalog raisonne said that this was an edition of 1,000; Michler says 5,000. This example is exceptionally clean and fresh and is presented in a desirable Robert Kulicke (New York) brushed aluminum frame which is al...
