This antique lithograph picture, by artist Irene Pendleton, is a print, but looks like an oil painting! This reproduction is a traditional still-life of a fruit bowl with sumptuous bluish purple and green grapes, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, plums and pears with some vine leaves on a wooden surface. This painting measures 46-1/2" x 34-1/2", includes a beautiful carved gold wood frame, and would make a superb addition to any fine collection or household! Robert W. Davidson

21"x26" unframed print on canvas titled "By the Seashore" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Original painting dated 1883, currently hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The arc of the sitter's dark eyebrows and saucily tilted nose in that pleasant, rosy-cheeked face are familiar to any Renoir aficionado. The woman in "By the Seashore" is almost certainly Aline Charigot (1859-1915), his frequent model, Significant Other (oh, all right: mistress) and the future Madame Renoir. Chuck Downs

24"x30-1/2" unframed poster from Neuschwanstein Castle of King Ludwig II of Bavaria (b. 1845) riding his horse. Throughout his reign, Ludwig had a succession of close friendships with men, including his Master of the Horse RichardHornig, Hungarian theatre actor Josef Kainz, and courtier Alfons Weber. In 1869, he began keeping a diary in which he recorded his private thoughts and his attempts to suppress his sexual desires and remain true to his Roman Catholic faith. Ludwig's original diaries were lost during World War II, and all that remains today are copies of entries made prior to the war. These copied diary entries, along with private letters and other surviving personal documents, suggest that Ludwig struggled with homosexuality throughout his life. Adrian Blue & Andy Van Etten
