<B>Frank Frazetta - Woman With a Scythe Study Sketch Original Art (Undated).</B></I> This small pencil and watercolor study for Frazetta's well-known "Woman With a Scythe" painting features a big change over the finished piece. On this version, the woman's face has been replaced by a skull, turning her into Lady Death! This is an interesting concept, and this 4" x 5" study (on a 6" x 8" piece of paper) is pretty detailed and frightening. It's a grim yet beautiful image, as only Frank Frazetta could produce them. Even Frazetta had his doubts about the death's head; in the margin below, he wrote "perhaps semi skull," and penciled another sketch of the head. The piece is signed with a single "F" in the lower right corner. While the paper shows some wrinkles due to the use of watercolors, the image itself is in Excellent condition, and would frame beautifully. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
