Artist: Zdzislaw Ruszkowski

Title: Seated female nude - an original watercolour painting, unframed

Description: The art critic and author J P Hodin (1905-1995) was a good friend of the artist and we have been able to acquire some original watercolours and aquatints by Ruszkowski which came originally from Paul Hodin's library following his death. We understand they were a gift from the artist on special occasions, such as a birthday or Christmas.  Details and images of the other Ruszkowski works are available on request.

The present work is an original signed watercolour from the Hodin collection of a seated female nude, dating we think to the early 1950s.  It is unsigned and unframed and measures about 13 x 10 inches image size. The watercolour is in good condition overall, save for a tear to the paper at the left margin (pictured) and some very light foxing and creasing.

We are also showing one other Ruszkowski watercolour, shown in the final two images. This work is unframed and measures about 14 x 9 inches image size. It is signed by the artist with his first name, dated November 1965 and dedicated to J P Hodin for his birthday. Although we cannot be certain on this point, we think this work would have been executed in 1965 when the artist was staying with friends in their boathouse in Devon which overlooked the River Dart. This watercolour is also in generally good condition, save for a crease to the centre of the paper (where the work was folded to make a 'card') and some uneveness to the paper to the left margin. This work is priced at £195...
