All Items : Fine Art : Drawings : Pen : Pre 1920 item #1423234 (stock #JB04239)
An original drawing of early twentieth century biplane and car, 9" by 12" (17 1/2" by 20 1/2" framed), signed at lower right "Lantz". The work is most likely for an advertisement, for publication. The unusual name makes it tempting to link this to the famed Woody Woodpecker artist Walter Lantz (1899-1994)---and it was found in Southern California, where he worked at the Hollywood studios----but the signature is dissimilar and the work is not the cartoon art for which he is so well known...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Oil : Europe : Italian : Contemporary item #1455128
A contemporary oil on canvas scene featuring a small bridge over a Venice, Italy canal; this may be the famous Ponte delle Tette bridge. The work measures 11 1/2" by 13 1/2" as framed. I do not see a signature. The painting and frame are in excellent condition.
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1940 item #1415660 (stock #JB04009)
Old watercolor and gouache painting of pink roses, unsigned, first half of the 20th century, 15 1/2" by 31 1/2" framed. The long and narrow work is very clean and ready for that special wall. Has a very shabby chic feeling.
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1970 item #1423407 (stock #JB04973)
A pleasing image of what appears to be a colonial church, perhaps in Brazil, or elsewhere in Latin America, or Mediterranean Europe (Portugal?----the architecture of the building suggests Brazil or Portugal) where palm trees grow; the apparently unsigned work, 7 1/2" by 5 1/2" (12" by 10" in gold framing) is, I believe, a monotype...
All Items : Fine Art : Prints : Pre 1700 item #1379877 (stock #TBD00255)
David Teniers the Younger (Dutch 1610-1690) copper plate engraving of men and perhaps a woman gathered around a table in a house with a rough floor, a bed alcove and some implements on shelves and hooks. The focus of the print is a man playing a violin while a standing man with drink in hand addresses him, perhaps singing, as is a seated man. Another man, behind the musician, reads and possibly sings from what looks like a broadside...
All Items : Fine Art : Drawings : Charcoal : Pre 1950 item #1417079 (stock #JB01169)
The work is executed in charcoal with a little white gouache, on paper, the unframed sheet 12" by 10", signed at lower right in the artist's typical manner. Gladys Emerson Cook (1899-1976) was known for her sensitive and accurate depictions of dogs, cats and other animals. She was a painter, illustrator, and graphic artist. Today a number of museums include her works. She exhibited at the National Academy of Design and other major venues...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1950 item #1419873 (stock #JB02760)
This is a most attractive watercolor on paper painting of a landscape with feathery trees bordering a foreground area, and a wider view beyond, 11 1/2 by 14 1/2" in modern inexpensive protective-only framing, unsigned. Found in New England, it reminds of California eucalyptus school work. The artist would likely be someone listed. The age could be circa 1920's to 1950. The work sorely needs a proper mat and framing...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1960 item #1416780 (stock #JB0650)
Watercolor on paper, unsigned, 14" by 18" (19" by 23 1/2" as framed/matted), American, dating likely from the late thirties to the mid fifties. The work is obviously by a talented artist, considering the way in which the flowering trellis vine has been depicted. There is a Somerville, New Jersey label on reverse from the framing outfit, from 1959, naming an Earl Potter from Potterville, NJ, but I don't believe this is the artist's name...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Oil : N. America : American : Pre 1970 item #1456014
A painting on board, unsigned, subject one of the 21 California missions, the size 9 1/4" by 12" (12 1/2" by 15 1/2" as framed). The piece has some age but is not extremely old by any means. Gold frame adds to the appeal. For your Southwestern interior.
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Tempera : Pre 1980 item #1421267 (stock #JB04305)
Interesting gouache abstract painting in subtle grays and blues, signed on the reverse side of the Crescent art board "Jeannine Isaacs". The piece, measuring 9 3/4" square inside the mat opening, comes in an aluminum frame without glass. I do not see a recognized, listed artist by this name. The art probably dates to the 1970's I would suggest. Condition is excellent.
All Items : Fine Art : Drawings : Contemporary item #1430129
A work of fine calligraphy that stands on its own as a work of art, the drawing in watercolor, and gouache/tempera, with a reflective gold paint applied in small diamond shapes, by Southern California contemporary calligrapher artist CAROL HICKS. The work measures 8" by 11" (12 3/4" by 15 3/4" in gold frame). Close examination reveals a wonder of lettering, and even a pattern of finger-like branching three dimensional paint. Hicks stamped the backing with her West Hills, California address...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1900 item #1416078
English watercolor paintings on both sides of the paper, circa 1880, one side a lovely classic scene of several cows on a dirt track by a cottage with branching tree, the other side sheep grazing around a tree, a church steeple in the distance. The paper measures 11" by 15" and 17 1/2" by 13 1/2" in a modern frame (I suggest discarding the non-glare cloudy style glass). There is no signature nor other indication of authorship...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Watercolor : Pre 1990 item #1422719 (stock #JB04172)
California watercolor landscape scene of a water tower above outbuildings in a tawny landscape, signed at lower left by artist Compton. The work measures 14" by 20" inside the present mat and 25" by 31" as framed in simple light wood, (no glass). The painting is in excellent condition despite the lack of glass. Mats are soiled and should be replaced. A well executed work squarely in the "California Style" of watercolor painting.
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Oil : N. America : American : Contemporary item #1421037 (stock #JB04997)
A nicely painted oil on Masonite work featuring pears and apples arranged in a still life that is quite colorful and harmonious, the fruit softly modeled. The work measures 16" by 11 3/4" (19 1/2" by 15 1/2" in bright gold framing) and is signed at lower right with a signature that appears to be "Ardi T. Santi" or similar. The painting is very decorative and attractive in its gold frame.
All Items : Fine Art : Drawings : Pen : Pre 1930 item #1457249
An old ink drawing of Carmel Mission in Central California, signed at lower left C Walker, or C F Walker, and dated there 1925. Measurements 4 1/2" by 3 3/4" (10 3/4" by 9 1/4" in pleasing, old, likely-original frame)...
All Items : Fine Art : Prints : Serigraphs : Pre 1990 item #12781 (stock #01107)

It came with Certificate of Authenticity (Parkwest Gallery)
All Items : Fine Art : Prints : Pre 1930 item #1440707
An old print featuring a panorama of Florence, Italy, with the famous architecture and bridges seen across the Arno River. The print appears to be a lithographic process of some type. Measurements are 18" by 33" in its contemporary-age black attractive framing, so this horizontal piece works well on a long wall space in need of some art. Plexi makes for safe shipping; there are some light scratches on that...
All Items : Fine Art : Paintings : Pastel : Pre 1960 item #1420141 (stock #JB02994)
Old vintage pastel on paper drawing of a New England landscape in the fall, including a white 19th century house and a lone figure, 12" by 9" (15 1/2" by 12 1/2" framed), no glass, signed very faintly at lower right corner as (I believe) "F. Will" (or, T. Will, or T. or F. Wills). I do not think the artist is the listed Frank-Will...
