It features an imposing, confrontational portrait of a woman seated behind a heavily layered dining table packed with a dense, maximalist arrangement of textures—from the intricate lace tablecloth to the high-contrast glazes of crystal glassware—all brought to life with incredibly rich chiaroscuro and velvety tonal gradients. Pencil-signed \"Zsissly\" in the lower right, titled in the lower left, and retaining its authentic Eden Gallery attribution stamp on the reverse dust cover, this print belongs to an edition whose sister impressions reside in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian. Framed in an elegant, clean-lined gilded wood molding with an archival white mat, it serves as a historically significant, visually arresting design anchor capable of commanding any sophisticated contemporary space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIllinois\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1947\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Live Auctioneers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48786532204761,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6749\/6409\/files\/Victoria_Lithograph_by_Zsissly_b.1897-1983.png?v=1781641579"},{"product_id":"trex-skull","title":"Tyrannosaurus Rex Skull Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003e21”W x 13 1\/2”H x 10”D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis striking late 20th-century cast resin sculpture of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull offers a powerful intersection of natural history and avant-garde interior design, serving as a dramatic statement object that delivers raw architectural texture to contemporary spaces. Replicating the formidable anatomy of the prehistoric predator, the piece features a fiercely open jawline held aloft by subtle structural rods, creating a complex interplay of negative space through its intricate orbital cavities and nasal fenestrations. The sculpture boasts a heavily tactile, faux-fossilized surface texture, characterized by a dark, mottled charcoal-gray ground accented by warm, earthy iron-rust and ochre undertones that beautifully mimic natural mineralization along the sharp, serrated rhythm of the teeth. Mechanically practical as it is visually arresting, the reverse of the cranium is engineered with a sturdy, integrated mounting bracket that allows the heavy-profile skull to be seamlessly wall-hung as a floating sculptural relief. While originally sourced as a matching pair, these versatile sculptures are being offered individually, allowing a single skull to operate as a singular focal point above a fireplace mantle, anchored within library shelving, or integrated into an eclectic gallery wall to add a quirky, sophisticated edge to modern decor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese sculptures are sold individually.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLate 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Live Auctioneers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48798591647961,"sku":null,"price":620.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6749\/6409\/files\/50552C81-8A02-40C6-BFC9-BEA66E0FD1DB.jpg?v=1781115185"},{"product_id":"spooky-pumpkin-ceramic","title":"Spooky Pumpkin Ceramic Ghost Pup Candle","description":"\u003cp\u003e7.82\" H x 6.70\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhimsical charm meets cozy seasonal warmth in this sculptural ceramic statement piece.

The standard transitions into a molded stepped base finished in dark paint and warm red undertones, while the lower back of one pilaster displays an incised \"KS\" artisan monogram.

Distributed by Adam,Rouilly in London and crafted by Marcus Sommer SOMSO Modelle GmbH—a German maker renowned for precision scientific models since 1876—the life-size piece is cast in the manufacturer’s signature SOMSO-Plast resin and features modular organs hand-painted by specialized artisans. Bearing a distinct vintage character, the surface reveals clean stress fracturing along the upper arm—a common, authentic mark of age in early resin castings—alongside minor surface wear that underscores its history of active use in medical school lecture halls. Despite these signs of provenance, the sculpture retains its vibrant original paintwork and precise modular fit. In a contemporary gallery context, the object presents a striking visual dichotomy: one side rests in smooth, idealized skin, while the other lays bare the internal machinery of the human body. Half-masked and half-skulled, its facial expression strikes an accidentally deadpan posture that playfully pokes fun at the attempt to simplify human life into numbered, removable parts. What ultimately elevates the work into a witty conceptual commentary is its modular fluidity, featuring fully interchangeable male and female anatomical components that allow gender markers to be dismantled, swapped, and reassembled at will, transforming a clinical teaching tool into a provocative design study on the constructed nature of the human form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGermany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1950s - 1980s\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Live Auctioneers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49148504473817,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6749\/6409\/files\/English_Adam__The_Modular_Anatomical_Torso_SOMSO_Model_BS_23.png?v=1791306556"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6749\/6409\/collections\/Pair_of_Fine_Architectural_Elements_Early_20th_C._Continental_Baroque_Style_Pilasters.jpg?v=1792005974","url":"https:\/\/bycloudia.life\/it\/collections\/october-vibes.oembed","provider":"ByCloudia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
