SELVAGGIA Signed Lithograph, Robed Figure, Bird, Surrealism, Latin American
By Norma Bessouet
Located in Union City, NJ
SELVAGGIA is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the Argentine woman artist Norma Bessouet printed using hand lithography techniques on Arches paper, 10% acid free. SELVAGGIA is unframed, in mint condition, full bleed image, hand torn edges, signed in pencil by Ms. Bessouet.
Print size - 28.5 x 20.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Norma Bessouet
Edition size - 150, plus proofs
Year printed - 1986
Printer - J K Fine Art Editions Co. NYC
Bessouet, born in Argentina, schooled in Argentina, London and in Italy, where she was able to look to the works of the Old Masters for inspiration. She refers to the artists of the Italian quattrocento along with Velazquez and El Greco as her muses, and traces of these historic artists shine through in her paintings. Her work is in numerous private and public collections throughout the world. Bessouet's art focused primarily around portraits, domesticity and the female nude.
In the original print, SELVAGGIA, Norma Bessouet merges certain Latin American strands of literary magic realism with Surrealism and presents a portrait of an androgynous seated figure, with bald head, serene facial expression, wearing a full length ombre shaded robe, cradling a large, long-beak bird. Ms. Bessouet's sensitive, masterly drawing expresses a fantasy doll...

20th century lithograph realism figurative female print female subject signed
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Woman Manicuring Her Nails" is an original lithograph by Maximilien Luce. The artist signed the piece lower right and it is numbered (#7). It features a woman seated in an interior taking care of her nails.
8 1/4" x 5 3/4" image
14 1/8" x 10 3/4" paper
19 1/4" x 16 1/2" frame
Maximilien Luce (1858 – 1941) was a prolific French Neo-impressionist artist, known for his paintings, illustrations, engravings, and graphic art, and also for his anarchist activism. Starting as an engraver, he then concentrated on painting, first as an Impressionist, then as a Pointillist, and finally returning to Impressionism.
Gausson and Cavallo-Péduzzi introduced Luce in about 1884 to the Divisionist technique developed by Georges Seurat. This influenced Luce to begin painting in the Pointillist style. In contrast to Seurat's detached manner, Luce's paintings were passionate portrayals of contemporary subjects, depicting the "violent effects of light". In addition to Pissarro and Signac, he met many of the other Neo-impressionists, including Seurat, Henri-Edmond Cross, Charles Angrand, Armand Guillaumin, Hippolyte Petitjean, Albert Dubois...

El tabaquero by James Sparshatt. Portrait photograph. Silver gelatin print
Located in Coltishall, GB
A tobacco farmer from the Viñales valley in Cuba.
In 1959 residents of Cuba were faced with a stark choice: stay on their island home and live as a “revolutionary” or leave. Some believed wholeheartedly in the new beginning, some were willing to be carried along and some abandoned everything they had and chose exile.
The Buena Vista social club found fame as much for their incredible spirit as for their music, but for me it is the everyman that you meet on the street, cigar clamped between teeth, a glint in the eye, that embodies the true spirit of those who have lived through 50 years of struggle.
James Sparshatt’s photographs of the “Revolutionary” generation of Cubans capture their grit and indominatable spirit.

Card Players (16/100), 1959 Framed Figurative Lithograph Print, Interior Scene
Located in Denver, CO
“Card Players” is an original, hand-signed mid-century lithograph by renowned American artist Kenneth Miller Adams (1897–1966). Created circa 1959 and numbered 16/100, this expressive figurative print captures an intimate moment: a group of men gathered around a card game, their gestures and body language conveying the intensity of the scene. Adams’ strong draftsmanship and sense of composition shine through, making this a compelling example of American Regionalism and mid-century social realism.
Professionally framed in a sleek black archival frame, the artwork remains in excellent, clean vintage condition.

1989 original poster Grand Prix de Paris Louis Vuitton Longchamp by Razzia
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1989 original poster Grand Prix de Paris Louis Vuitton Longchamp by the celebrated artist Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix Dénériaz) is an iconic example of his distinctive style. Created to promote the Grand Prix de Paris, a prestigious horse racing event held at Longchamp Racecourse on June 25, 1989, the poster reflects both the grandeur of the event and the luxury synonymous with its sponsor, Louis Vuitton.
The poster’s design is minimalist yet impactful, focusing on a rear view of a British guard, dressed in traditional red ceremonial uniform with a tall bearskin hat adorned with a blue plume. The guard is standing at attention, gazing over the scenic racetrack, which stretches into the background with a prominent windmill, a symbol often associated with Longchamp. This deliberate compositional choice centers the guard as a dignified observer, adding a ceremonial and stately quality to the event.
The use of the guard in this imagery reflects the participation of the Irish Guards' Band, who performed during the event, a fact noted in the inscription at the bottom of the poster. The reference to the British monarchy's Queen’s Irish Guards adds to the prestige and international appeal of the race. The elegance of the poster reflects the intersection of royal tradition, horse racing, and high fashion.
Razzia’s artistic approach is known for its clean lines, bold compositions, and a blend of Art Deco influences. In this poster, the striking contrast between the vibrant red of the guard’s uniform...

Study of Five Heads - Original Etching by J.-J. Boissieu
Located in Roma, IT
Study of Five Heads is a beautiful black and white etching with drypoint interventions on paper, realized at the end of XVIII century by the French artist Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (Lyon, 1736- 1810).
Five study of heads of which two profiles (a female and a male) are lightly sketched with the drypoint technique, and we could appreciate the incredible draftsmanship. Instead, the bigger three portraits are very detailed and etched with a superb technique. Although the subjects are drawn in different scales and with different degrees of finish, each portrait has the dignity of a unique piece and the composition is very balanced.
In particular on the lower margin at the center there is the portrait of "Le Père Cotrot, Garçon Teinturier à Lyon'", an elderly man, toothless and with a large-nosed, slightly turned to left, with a hat and unbuttoned jacket over waistcoat, shows all his wrinkles in a very realistic way.
Signed on plate on lower right margin “De Boissieu”.
This old master’s original print with fresh impressions, is in very good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper above all on the edges and some signs of the time and light foxing along the margins, do not affect the image.
Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (Lyon,1736 –1810)
Jean-Jacques de Boissieu was a French artist studied at the École de Dessin in Lyon, but he was mostly self-taught.
His first prints were realized between 1758–64. When he went to Italy in the retinue of the ambassador and Duc de la Rochefoucauld d’Enville, he had the lifechanging encounter: he met Voltaire and he entered in the world of luminaries, he had the opportunity of realizing some plates for the Diderot-d’Alembert’s Encyclopèdie. Then he continued to produce prints in Lyon, Boissieu made many etchings of the Roman and Dutch countryside, as well as the French countryside around Lyon, which earned him a reputation as the last representative of the older etching...
