Condition:

I am selling
this remarkably beautiful and poetic mezzotint by an artist famous for his
figure studies—no doubt underpinned by his life class training at the Académie
Julian in Paris—for AU$214 (currently US$145.01/EUR130.61/GBP119.73 at the time
of this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but
not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).
If you are
interested in purchasing this dream-like image of a nude young woman potrayed
with great delicacy in evening light as she bathes her leg while resting on the
bank of a stream, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will
send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.

Hi there,
ReplyDeletejust wondering how much you think the original would be worth. Thank you in advance
I may be misunderstanding your question, but this is an original mezzotint executed by the hand of the artist ... but (of course) it is neither a pen drawing nor a painting which would be expensive. The price that I asked is still showing on this listing.
