About the Item

This painting was published as the cover for An Unlikely Attraction by Melinda McRae, Signet Regency Romance, Signet Books, 1991. Illustration of a young couple. Signed lower right. Robert A. Maguire whose family name is McGuire, was one of the many students of Frank Reilly who gravitated to the paperback book cover market.

His work is marked by its versatility and consistent high quality which is particularly effective with romantic subjects.
