Fine Art - Lesch Print


Expert: Joseph B. Laskowski - 6/14/2009

Question
I recently purchased a print from a garage sale it is signed by Ian or Jan Neste (?) with printed on top left Copr. Rudolf Lesch N.Y and on the far right Editeurs Dietrich and C.Bruxelles. I didn't find any product number but haven't removed the backing from the picture yet. Do you have any history on this work. It is a beautiful print.

Answer
The print is it an etching that is pencil signed or is it a reproduction print after a painting. Thank You.
If it is an original etching, it could be worth $300-$500 fair market value.
