Original Playboy Artist Leo Jansen Oil Painting of a Nude Girl With a Lion
About the Item
Very captivating, original oil on canvas of a beautiful nude woman with expressive amber eyes and a lion by her side, by famous deceased listed Dutch artist, Leo Jansen (1930-1980). This is a very unusual Leo Jansen painting as I have never seen one with a lion. This painting exudes softness and light and is just exquisite in real life. Painting is signed by the artist on the lower right hand corner and on the reverse you will find Leo Jansen's stamp, signature and original thumbprint, as your guarantee that this painting is authentic. It also has written "Hold for Publication" on the top edge of the canvas. It is also stamped on the backside "MASTER PRINTS FILED WITH: (see photo for locations). It is elegantly custom framed in the original ornate gold frame with an ivory velvet liner.
Many of the rich and famous had sought out Jansen for his portraiture skills and Jansen's sitting fee in the 1960's was $20,000 US dollars. For eighteen years, he was commissioned by Playboy Magazine to paint the playmate of the month. In his first six years, he was the artist chosen to paint 58 of the 72 portraits. His works hung in Hugh Hefner's Playboy corporate headquarters and in the mansion until Hefner's death. He is also famous for his portraiture of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Ranked among the nation's best interpretive artist of nudes, Jansen's canvases hang in the collections of esteemed collectors, notables and celebrities world wide. In the United States, he was in great demand in Los Angeles galleries, but sold primarily through Aaron Brothers. Painting will include the original Certificate of Authentication dated November 15, 1977 from Aaron Brothers Corporation whom originally sold the painting to my client. Due to the certificate's age, it has holes in the paper.
In 1980 at the age of 50 years old, he died from an apparent heart attack.
Canvas measures 24" x 36" unframed. Framed measurement is 31.5" wide x 43" long.

- William Keith Original Tonal Oil Painting of California Misty Woodland LandscapeLocated in Tustin, CAOriginal oil painting on canvas, Tonal-style landscape painting by listed, deceased, famous artist, William Keith (1838-1911). Painting features a group of majestic trees near a pond of water at deep dusk or early dawn. A lone shepherd, seated beneath a tree, watches over his herd of sheep as they make their way down to the water. The tone is relaxed and misty, with softly blurred details and an air of hazy tranquility. William Keith was a Scottish-American painter famous for his plein air California landscapes, characterized by how the landscapes captured feelings and emotions, rather than actual details. He was neither pure Realist nor pure Impressionist. During the 1870s, Keith painted a number of six-by ten-foot panoramas, including "Kings River Canyon" (Oakland Museum, originally owned by Governor Leland Stanford) and "California Alps" (Mission Inn, Riverside). These competed with paintings of similar size and subject matter by famous California landscape painters Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Hill. Keith is associated with Tonalism and the American Barbizon school of painting...Category
