This work was done on two pages from a rare, out of print auction catalogue purchased at an auction in Nice. Two pages from the catalogue were used as a background for an original painting. The pages were removed as one large sheet of paper. The numbers written in pencil next to the item description are a record of what that item sold for and were written by the catalogue holder at the time of the auction. © 2011 Neal Turner
