About the Item

Arthur Prince Spear: 1879-1959. Well listed American painter with auction results up to $6900, but sells for much more in galleries as his works are fairly rare. He is known for his imaginary paintings of nymphs, fauns and under-sea dwellers. This work could possibly be a study as most of his works are larger. It is painted on artist board and measures 11 3/4 inches high by 9 3/4 wide. The frame which is period and could be original measures 18 1/2 inches high by 16 1/2 wide It is signed lower right.

William Newcombe Mid Century Abstract Nude
By William John Bertram Newcombe
Located in San Francisco, CA
William John Bertram Newcombe: 1907-1969. Listed Canadian and British artist known for Abstraction. He has had auction results over $4000. This wonderful nude looks so much better in person as glass is very reflective making it difficult to capture an accurate picture. It is in very good condition! It is either mixed media or watercolor on paper. It measures approximately 29 inches high by 18 1/2 wide but is matted so could be larger. The frame measures 36 1/4 by 25 1/4. This piece was part of the Vincent Price collection...
