$475 USD Offers ConsideredFlorian Kraner (Vienna 1908- New York 1976) - Signed Original Wash Drawing - Dramatic andThought-Provoking
Fine Art:Drawings:Watercolor:Florian Kraner:Tree
This very unusual original artwork will be one that you either love or hate. It is hard to be indifferent! Is this gnarled leafless tree representative of desolation? Old Age? Or does it show the strength of this naked tree that has withstood so much, but still seems strong enough to triumph. This is a wonderful example of how individual art is to each of us. Needless to say, I really like this, and really like the artist. This is one of four original Kraner works from the late 1960s. This is a ...

Fine Art:Antique:Painting
This painting, oil on canvas, is signed "PJB", an unidentified European artist. It is dated 1892.

The story of David and Goliath is a beautiful and inspiring one. For the small shepherd boy to have brought down the giant Goliath and saved his people.

Fine Art:Antique:Painting:"The Last Smoke"
This wonderful painting of an early 19th century dandy was originally acquired from the prestigious Anthony Woodd gallery in Edinburgh. The gallery sticker is affixed to the verso, which also shows professional conservation.

$600 USDMarvelous Impressionistic Stone Sculpture, Signed
Fine Art:Sculptures:Stone:Southwestern Art
This sculpture appealed to me immediately, perhaps due to my fondness for Southwestern art, and that of Gorman. I believe this might be from Zuniga, by the style, since his style always reminded me of Gorman. The simple lines of this sculpture deftly incorporated with the natural striations of the stone. The color is fantastic; soft rosy coral to rich cream. This is 8 inches tall, 6 inches wide and a bit over 1 and 3/4 inches deep. There is a signature that I cannot decipher.

$650 USDKAUBA - Small Bronze Sculpture Of Indian Rampaging - Signed
Fine Art:Sculptures:Kauba:Vienna Bronze:Indian
This is a wonderful example of why Carl Kauba's sculptures are sought after the world over! The feeling of motion and strength is almost palpable. Look at the Indian's expression of intensity. He is brandishing a raised tomahawk in one hand, and a small knife in the other. I like the pattern on his buckskin pants; his necklace made of animal fangs; the braids and feathers; all well detailed. It is signed KAUBA (incised) in the sculpture next to the leg he is standing upon. This wonderful little ...
