Bela Sziklay (1911 - 1981) - Nudo femminile in posa

Bela Sziklay (Hungarian, 1911 - 1981), Female nude in pose, work datable to the first half of the 20th century, colored pastels on paper, about 64x44 cm, protected with glass within a frame 73x53x4 cm.

Object in generally good condition; no conservation issues observed.

Very notable and widespread are the engravings (for which this artist was a master) of urban views, especially monuments in Italian cities: Bela Sziklay, after an initial youthful period spent in Hungary, a French sojourn where he refined his training, moved to Italy where he developed his artistic career. It is not surprising that the reference market is international, and particularly very present in the United States, where he evidently benefited from the substantial commercial diffusion of refined art souvenirs. The de Young Museum of San Francisco includes several engravings by Bela Sziklay in its permanent collection.

The frame is provided as a courtesy and does not affect the artwork’s valuation since, by its function and the nature of the materials themselves, any damage during shipping cannot be ruled out and will not constitute a valid reason for complaint or order cancellation; all the more so for the protective glass which will necessarily be covered, during packaging, with adhesive tape to keep it intact in case of breakage. To prevent these inconveniences, every effort will be made to ensure careful packaging.

The photographs are an integral part of the description.

Tracked shipping; higher costs and shipping times are not to be excluded due to export procedures and/or locations not normally reached by shipping services (especially outside the EU): in those cases I will obtain customized quotes based on the destination ZIP code and will inform the buyer of any significant variations from the base cost indicated.
