ANTIQUE FINE LITHOGRAPH “INFANTA MARGARITA TERESA IN RED” by VELASQUEZ, by the NATIONAL COMMITTEE for ART APPRECIATION, published in 1937 PRINTED ON HEAVY PAPER WITH A MATTE FINISH. What is a Lithograph? A lithograph is a type of printing process during which original works of art can be printed and reproduced; the final product is also known as a lithograph, which is an authorized copy of an original work created by an artist or other skilled craftsmen. Vibrant color. Definitely suitable for framing and display. This print was part of a 1937 portfolio of offset lithographs titled Portfolio of Famous Paintings, released by the National Committee for Art Appreciation under the direction of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The original portfolio included 48 prints divided into sets of 4 titled as Four Outstanding French Painters of the Late 18th and Early 19th Century and Four Great 20th Century European Artists. About the piece and written for the portfolio: “INFANTA MARGARITA TERESA IN RED by Velasquez (1599-1660) Velasquez had the most perfect eye in the history of art. He saw not only texture, atmosphere and flesh but also the character of his sitters. At the age of 23, he became Painter to the King of Spain, Philip IV, with a studio in the Palace, a residence in Madrid, and a good monthly salary. For 37 years thereafter, Velasquez painted the King so frequently and so well that their names have become inseparable. Because of these immortal portraits, this weakling King has left the stamp of his face and figure upon the ages. Velasquez, in his whole career, painted only one nude. It is the supremely beautiful Venus.” 10 1/4” x 13 1/2” Condition: Pristine condition - though yellowed by age.

ABOUT SHIPPING: MEDIA MAIL: When an item qualifies for “Media Mail shipping”, I make an effort to minimize shipping costs for my buyers and opt for this shipping method. However, arrival times can be lengthy (I’ve experienced up to 2-4 weeks arrival time!) and I understand there is a slightly increased risk of damage. If you wish me to upgrade the shipping method for you in order to receive your purchase earlier or reduce the risk of possible damage, please do not hesitate to ask. On ‘EXPENSIVE TO SHIP’ items, always happy to investigate a more economic option. Just ask! This item is located in a rural area; mailing is typically done once a week. Please note shipping method - as this can greatly affect delivery time, i.e. Economy & Media Mail likely take much longer. Weather & holidays can also affect delivery. If your purchase is to go FedEx, fyi: it must be shipped the same day the postage is purchased. Again, we are located in a rural area and that may affect shipping. However, we have an excellent track record for timely shipping. Also: I am absolutely willing to ship using a more economical method for my buyers. So, please feel free to make a suggestion. Feel free to contact me with any questions before bidding and I will answer them as best as I can. I do not claim to be an expert on any item for sale.
