Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

Ahoy, this one’s a picture on a rock, matey. The image is a printed reproduction of Frida Kahlo’s 1946 painting The Little Deer: her own face on the body of a young stag, its hide stuck full of arrows, running through a stand of broken trees with the sea showing beyond.

The print rides on a tumbled travertine tile with pitted, chalky stone borders, and a rope cord is threaded through the top corners for hanging. The signature line along the bottom edge is part of the printed image. To be plain about it: this is a reproduction, not an original painting. Light wear on the print surface, as you can see in the close-ups.
