Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Collotype hand signed limited edition 1917 Les mères pendant la guerre sight 9.5" by 13.5" with original mat board
American circa 1910 or at least early twentieth century pastel on paper drawing of grapes, apples and a banana, 17" by 20 3/4" framed in an oval, unsigned. The work is typical of pastel still life of the period, though I do not believe it by the "Chandler" workshop. Modest homes of the period were lucky to have an original work of art rather than a print. This one has survived in very good condition...
