This is a vintage mid-century reproduction of Vladimir Tretchikoff's "The Dying Swan." It captures Dame Alicia Markova in a dramatic, bowed pose against a backdrop of a spectral swan. Based on the visible craquelure (fine cracking in the varnish) and the sculptural floral frame, this is an authentic mid-20th-century reproduction piece. While Tretchikoff's work was once dismissed by critics, it is now highly collectible as an icon of retro pop culture and mid-century modern history. Dimensions: 51cm x 43.5cm
