Huge Josphine Baker picture by 'Moi'
This original 1920's African Huntress carries a deer on her shoulders and is a watercolour and pastile picture painted on linen. It is framed in a wood frame which measures 49 x 29 inches (205 x 74cm), and is signed Moi in the bottom corner. It is a really stylish picture in bright vivid colours and the condition is very good, but there is a slight warp to the frame after 80 odd years.

Original 1950s Watercolour
This lovely picture was hand painted in pastel and watercolour, and is signed and dated 1954. This, and the next one below are both by the same artist and signed - although indistinctly. They are very similar and in the style of the Varga calendar girls, and are in their original gilded frames measuring 28 by 22 inches. Condition is very good and original. Note that this item and the one below (Art 527) match, and are both by the same artist and would make a wonderful pair.

Theatrical Painting - Hanging Around
Stunning, original 1920's water colour and gouache painting. On the back of the card it is painted on, it says it was produced by Lido Press, Strand, London. I have several of these original paintings and they appear to be all original theatrical and poster paintings from the same company and probably by the same artist but none are signed. This one is titled Hanging Around. It was displayed about 6 years ago at the Fortnum and Masons Art Deco Exhibition. It has been recently framed in a black wood frame that measures 30 inches by 23 inches (64cm x 43). In excellent condition and an amazing find, beautifully painted.
