Lionel Reiss

N O T E S

Reiss was a Painter, Illustrator, Etcher and Lithographer - listed in Fielding and Mallett.

I have one other work by Reiss on this same theme, same format, same frame-style.

The frame is VERY unusual and QUITE heavy. It seems like OLD oak (9 cm wide), with wormsholes, sculpted to form -- the label on the back reads "a HEYDENRYK frame", from New York.

Shipped framed, in the original frame.

Provinance
unidentified New York Collection ; Delgado Collection, Canary Islands; Kardas Collection, New Jersey
