Lot Details

It was altered by the artist for a second as-of-yet unidentified use after its publication, and bears a second title of The Long Full Dinner on the verso. Reworking illustrations was a common practice for artists for decades, and the scene as it stands is still classic Avati. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
