Virgil Finlay - Original Sketch of a Seated Redhead (1931)
Virgil Finlay - Original Sketch of a Seated Redhead (1931). Virgil Finlay was one of science fiction's most prolific and honored artists. His black and white illustrations for pulp magazines earned him legions of fans. This delicate sketch of a seated redheaded woman is done in pencil, with ink, colored pencil and watercolor highlights. Virgil Finlay's career providing illustrations for pulp magazines did not begin until the end of 1935; this sketch is a very early one, dating from when Finlay was just 17 years old. While it has a quick and unfinished feel to it, this sketch has the composition, detail, and mood that mark it as the work of a very talented artist. 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.
