About the Item
This small drawing (pencil on paper, 25 x 19.5 cm) depicts a friar (who from the style of his tonsure and tunic would appear to be a Franciscan) on the left, seated in the act of reading. It is located in the open air, in the cloister of a church with typical Oltralpine Gothic features of which we recognize the Carolingian-derived westwerk terminating in tall pointed spires, ogival arches, and Corinthian-type capitals. There is an interesting difference between the totally finished parts of the building and others that look like ruins that nature is reclaiming.
The image seems to refer to Cologne Cathedral or Notre Dame de Jumièges Abbey, but it is likely to be a whim invented by the artist. The whole design is pervaded by the romantic temperament typical of the 19th century.
The drawing is signed in the lower left corner, inside the quadrature, in lane handwriting Luigia Orsi, an artist of whom there are currently no traces.

Harbor Scene - Golden Gate Bridge, Mid-Century Illustration, Female Illustrator
Located in Miami, FL
Original mid-century illustration for the children's book "Good Work" by John G. McCullough, Young Scott Books, N.Y. It depicts a busy harbor filled with commercial and leisure traffic. Notice all the charming little people, busy at work - dotting the docks and boats. Ipcar masterfully designed the work so that your eye effortlessly travels from more prominent foreground elements to more minor elements in the distance. But her color scheme limited only to two colors sets "Harbor Scene" apart from the humdrum and elevates it to a sophisticated children's book illustration. The suspension bridge in the back of the composition is modeled after the Golden Gate. The illustration bears the hallmarks of modernism with its flat shapes and quick painterly style. "Harbor Scene" represents the artist's early style. By the '60s and '70s, her work began to take on a new direction with intricate patterns and depicting animals.
