    The thrift store I go to mon - fri had all their art in 2 HUGE crates ready to send to their other stores & beside those was a smaller box with about a dozen old prints in it. I couldn't find the artist with image search but I bought them anyway because I didn't want them to go out the door & later I found out they were by a famous artist (art is my form of playing the lottery I think!)

    Below are some by the same artist + a nude boy? girl? that I also need help with.

    Thank you for any info - please tell me these are winners!

    The first one is by William Auerbach-Levy. Looks like an etching.

    Let me explain something to you, if a person has breasts, they're a girl.:playful: So this is a girl.

    I am HAPPY it's a girl; definitely easier to sell - even here in Miami!

    Thank you for the Levy name; I think 8 of the 11 are by him - now I just need them to be worth more than the $20 each I paid!

    If it was a modern print then it might have been a trickier question :playful:
