George Valentine Dureau (1930-2014, New Orleans), "Seated Male Nude with Blanket," 20th c., large silver gelatin photographic print, unsigned, shrink wrapped, H.- 41 in., W.- 34 in.

Condition consistent with age and use. The borders of the photograph are all discolored, most likely from age and not being kept in an acid free area. There are five pin holes on the top proper right and left corners, most likely from being pinned to the wall. There is one paper crease visible on top middle of photo, as well as on bottom. The bottom proper right corner has the top layer of photo paper torn off. The photograph was received roll up, so it can be removed from the shrink wrap and sent rolled up. However, the gallery does not ship, nor would we remove the shrink wrap. An external shipper can provide this service, if necessary. The size listed is the size of the total paper. The piece is not signed, but we were able to confirm with the consignor that the item was originally sold to a family member from one of Dureau’s models. This is a handsome example. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
