About the Item
Sensual and sinuous, this very rare print by an American sculptor depicts a nude female figure who is embraced by her nude male lover from below, the male serving as the trunk for the female tree who towers above. The artist, Alexander Portnoff, is largely known for his sculptures, but this print is a clear and special exception, and in fact was given to Elizabeth Swenson by the artist's widow in 1950. This gift followed a memorial exhibition hosted by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1949. The print is signed by the artist. (Dimensions include matte and frame).
