Description: This is an original Robert Philipp watercolor and ink painting on watercolor board. The subject matter is of a woman - probably Robert Philipp's wife Rochelle "Shelly" Post - sitting on a sofa. It is in superb condition. It is signed and framed and matted behind a linen matte and glass. There is also a second faint signature at the top of the painting as seen. Any smudges seen are just light reflections on the glass. Also, any dust spots are behind the glass, which I do not want to remove. I did my best to take pictures without reflections. Please ask for more photos via email if you like. I am happy to send a video too. The painting itself measures 12x10 inches inside the frame. The frame measures 16.5x19 inches. About the artist: Robert Philipp (February 2, 1895 – November 22, 1981) was an american painter influenced by Impressionism and Post Impressionism and known for his nudes, still lifes and portraits of attractive women and Hollywood stars. Noted art critic Henry McBride called Philipp one of America's top six painters of his generation. He was an instructor of painting at the Art Students League of New York for 33 years, the American artist Itshak Holtz was a student of Philipp. Philipp was Secretary of the National Academy of Design, and National Academician, Benjamin Franklin Fellow, Royal Society of Arts, in London. He was married to model and fellow artist Rochelle ("Shelly") Post, who frequently posed for him until her death in 1971. His compositions and painting style have been compared to the art of Edgar Degas and Pierre August-Renoir. Philip won prizes in most of the important exhibitions of his time, and his paintings are in numerous museums and important private collections. He is a highly collectible artist. This will not last long! Make me an offer!
