I am selling this visually arresting and memorable portrait by a somewhat overlooked female artist of great personal vision and technical daring for the total cost of AU$244 (currently US$163.42/EUR150.02/GBP126.39 at the time of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
