Jeff Jones - Original Oil Painting, Portrait of
Jeff Jones - Original Oil Painting, Portrait of a Standing Girl (undated). An evocative work, this is Jeff Jones at his most painterly. Part of a "New Generation" of artists that broke into comics in the early 1970s, Jeff Jones quickly moved from comic to fine art, gaining a reputation for his striking book covers. Drawing inspiration from such sources as Howard Pyle and N. C. Wyeth, Jones' paintings are visions infused with emotion. This piece, with its soft focus, uses a muted palette, typical of Jones' best work. The girl's face, illuminated in a soft golden light, recalls the work of the Delft Master, Johannes Vermeer, with a similar fascination of the intricate combination of light, color, proportion, and scale that enhances the moods and reality of the subjects. Measuring approximately 18" x 20" on linen canvas, this piece is in excellent condition. Important notice: 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.
