A nicely painted oil on canvas still life of flowers in a Chinese vase or pot, balancing between trompe l'oeil realism and impressionism, signed at lower left by artist ELIZABETH CAMPBELL. This is a contemporary work, likely less than thirty years old, measuring 28" by 22" (33 1/2" by 27 1/2" framed). There is a listing by this name but I do not believe it to be the same artist. Condition is excellent save for a small scuff at upper left.

A well-painted work featuring an interior, perhaps a residence, perhaps a restaurant or other public space, a table with fruit in a bowl, a chair, and sofa filling the space. The oil on canvas, 17 1/2" by 21" (20 1/2" by 24" in old frame, likely the original), is signed somewhat indecipherably at lower left and dated there "Berlin 1909". The name appears at first glance to be "B. Geis(xxxx)" or "B. Geism(xxxx)"...

German composer Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) is the subject of this thoughtful treatment of one of the great music writers and critics of the Romance era.

The nearly all white sculpture depicts the musician in a pensive focused gaze, carved in simple but expressive lines. The economy of carving contrasts with many 19th century styles which were more extravagant in their renderings of their subjects.

Watercolor on paper, 11" by 14 1/4" (19" by 22" as framed). signed at lower left "L. M. Churbuck" and below that "Rockport". This is a very, very fine watercolor of a desirable and popular subject by a listed, well recognized artist who hailed from Falmouth, Massachusetts. Churbuck painted in both watercolor and oil, and most known works seem to be country landscapes in New England or views of coastal towns such as Marblehead and Rockport. His paintings have sold at auction but he does not ap...

Pencil drawing on paper, 4 1/4" square inside the mat, 9 1/4" by 9 1/4" as framed, signed at lower right "Luce", the subject an elderly man at left and elderly woman at right, both reading a letter or periodical.

This print, which appears to be rather scarce, dates to about 1960. It is after one of his most famous paintings, which I believe now rests in the collection of the San Diego Museum of Art. Hurd was born in New Mexico and attended military academy there before realizing he wanted to becom...

A **PAIR** of mid century offset prints after earlier works by the famous Russian-French Jewish artist MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985) These prints are both hand signed in blue ballpoint pen in margins by Chagall at lower right (considered what is called a "complimentary signature"), perhaps at a special gallery or printer event. They appear to have been framed in the 1950's or 1960's at latest and remain sealed since then. I believe the signatures to be authentic and will stand by that being the case...

The painting is striking and handsome, the color combinations very in tune with today's retro contemporary look. A brief search of the name does not immediately point to a known artist. Medium is perhaps a thinned oil or gouache possibly, with some pencil lines drawn as well. The frame is gold leaf but has some losses and peelin...

A fine example of one of the 58 images from the famous "Miserere" series of prints by famous French artist GEORGES ROUAULT (1871-1958), this being plate number 3, "Toujours Flagelle" ("Forever Scourged"), dated 1922, printed in 1927 in an edition of 425, and finally actually published after the war in 1948. The series is described by many, in many ways; most mention that Rouault was one of the most important religious artists of the 20th century, and that this landmark series of prints, created...

PASCUAL MONTURIOL" and each bearing an old rubber stamp on the reverse framing paper proclaiming "This painting is guaranteed as original by Parker-Edwards Gallery". I've researched that gallery and find it op...

Large, impressive watercolor painting of mountain laurel shrub and its delicate blossoms (the state flower of Connecticut, growing naturally in the wild, especially at higher elevations, and blooming in the month of May), 19" by 28 1/2" (27 1/2" by 35 1/2" framed), signed at lower right and dated there 1890, by the well listed Massachusetts artist RICHARD ANDREW (1869-1956).

A beautifully impressionist work featuring a plus-size woman seated outside in a park in the nude, partially shaded on a hot day by a large shrub.

The artist, who worked his entire career in the tradition of French Impressionism, pointedly ignoring modernism, has created here a beautiful work, with the beauty ...

Oil on canvas painting of the streets in the oft-painted Montmartre section of Paris, 18" by 24" (25" by 31" framed), signed at lower right by the noted well listed French naive artist LOUIS PEYRAT (1905-1999). This is a classic scene that reminds of Maurice Utrillo, who, I read online, was a cousin of Peyrat (one painting in the auction record featured as its subject matter Utrillo's house). The muted color palette lends an austerity and understatement to this fine work. Peyrat was from the ...

Larger size Australian aboriginal bark painting 38" by 23", the complex image featuring a number of native turtles and lizards, painted in natural earth pigments by the northern Australian aboriginal artist who is sometimes know as "Left Hand George", because he throws a spear with his left hand.

An unusual and decorative circa 1930's unframed 16" by 20" oil on canvas painting featuring a beautiful young maiden centered in a tawny, mountainous Southwest landscape, Native Americans surrounding her, signed lower left rather illegibly. I have long studied the signature and believe it might be "Ben Mead", (1902-1986) who was a southwestern (Texas and California) artist-illustrator based in Amarillo and Dallas. Mead focused on illustration for publication. He studied at the Art Institute o...

The artist was clearly well trained, and chose an overall palette of muted somber tones to emphasize that this was not just a pretty picture of a client, but was a character...

He was a student of W. D. Hamilton, and, at the Academie Julian in Paris, of Jean Paul...
