Robert P. Gordy (Louisiana, 1933-1986), "Study for the River Bathers," 1975, marker and ink on paper, signed and dated twice on bottom and top left, titled and dated on a Galerie Simonne Stern label en verso, presented in a matching burnt red mat and chrome frame, H.- 22 in., W.- 33 1/2 in., Framed H.- 26 1/2 in., W.- 37 1/4 in.

This is a rare example of Gordy’s study for the “River Bathers.” Paper foxing can be seen throughout the piece, due to humidity. Additionally, the marker color has faded over the years. There are no signs of tears or other damage to paper. This is a handsome example. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
