  Durer, Albert. Salome Presenting the Head of St John the Baptist to Herodias. (1471-1528) German High Renaissance painter later known for his incredible Gothic woodcuts of the late 15th early 16th Century and considered a revolutionary of the medium. His images are so familiar in modern culture with most not knowing the artist. His works taken from stories in the Bible are a marvel having extraordinary detail and movement. The stories are biblical but the settings 16th Century as clearly evident by the clothing and architecture. Engraving as examined in frame has been trimmed flush and mounted on larger paper and then again mounted on a much larger shet at least a hundred + years past. Actual engraving measures 7 5/8 x 5" and matted and framed to 17½ x 13½". Engraving boasts deep blacks overall even toning and Durer's monogram is clearly visible left of the pot.

  John Kelly. "The China Suite" Folio of 5 Signed, Numbered Impressions on Japon Paper. In February of 1979, John Kelly was the first American artist to extensively travel throughout China to create a suite of lithographs. The suite ended up being five images of 12 colors. The edition was limited to 250 impressions on Arches paper and 50 impressions on Inomachi Nacre (Japon) paper on which this suite has been printed. Each lithograph is hand signed, hand titled and hand numbered by Kelly in pencil along the bottom white margin in his handsome cursive writing. The individual titles in this suite are: "Hang Chow," "South China Sea," "The Fisherman," "The Bejing Express," and "Wang-Pu River." It is very difficult to find a complete suite of these lithographs, still in their handsome folio, 26½ x 20½", and in mint condition. Further, John Kelly has inscribed and signed his name on the title page of the folio. Beautiful suite of images and comes with the original COA from a gallery in Marina Del Rey, CA. in 1979. Estimated Value $100 - 500
From The Celebrated Collection of Alden T. Barnes.
