Frank Frazetta - Original Illustration (Sun Litho, 1981). Originally drawn in 1968, this exquisite piece was finally published in 1981 in Frazetta: The Living Legend on page 78. Finely rendered in pencil and ink, this is an image that, once seen, will not soon be forgotten. The central figures of the man and the woman are fully finished in the fine ink style that has become Frazetta's trademark. The background is lightly sketched in pencil and unfinished, giving the whole work a pleasing sense of unreality. Frazetta's women, soft and voluptuous yet eminently powerful, are always stunning, and the naked beauty here is no exception. The man, almost a separate, sub-human species by comparison, kneels at the woman's feet, increasing the sense of power and authority with which Frank invests her. Attractively framed to an overall size of approximately 16.75" x 21.25", with an approximate image area of 9.5" x 12.75", this piece is in excellent condition. A truly monumental work, this will surely be the centerpiece of any collection.
