DESCRIPTION: This wonderful sketch is a huge mystery to me. I recently picked this up at a charity sale where many items had been donated by various people to raise money for a local cause. In this case it was for an art group. This is signed ELLY FRANK 81, and is dedicated A KITTY FOR KATHE. I've taken photos in various lighting condition so you can see the pencil marks under the glass. I'm tempted to remove this from the glass during this auction, and will update if I find anything significant that would give more info about the artist. The only Elly Frank I have heard of is a famous German post card artist back in the late 1800 and early 1900s, but other than that, she is a mystery. This sketch is very well done, and it's obviously a true artist who penciled it. If anyone has any info on this piece or the artist, I would love to hear from you and will update the auction with relevant info. In the meantime, I'm pricing it based on decorative and artistic value, not as investment (although it may turn out to be a teriffic investment depending on the artist). I hope you will find this as adorable and sweet as I did.

CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition as much as I can tell under the glass. The frame suffers some damage and would look better if replaced. This is a vintage item, so please expect to see some signs of age and use.

Thanks kindly for viewing AtomicCheez! It's my pleasure to work with you!
