Masterful and truly mysterious 20th century surrealist painting, oil (I believe) on stretched canvas. The unexplained goings-on appear to me to be a monastic interior with a grotesque guest, the flowering fiend has left a cluster of nearly trompe l'oeil droplets on the wall. It is dated ('84), signed and inscribed on back, though I can not make the signature. This measures about 22.5" wide and tall, including the gilt wood frame. Condition is excellent with age appropriate wear.

Large antique—probably 18th century—oil painting of a semi-bare breasted Cleopatra (I believe) in a decadent lair.

The framed measurement is about 36.5" by 26.5". Painting is in excellent condition with age-appropriate wear, the frame is lovely too with minor losses and retouches throughout.

Deeply moving 18th century oil on canvas portrait of a pious nun. Gilt wood frame is antique, though likely dates later than the painting, it has minimal losses including a thin shard from the outer edge. Framed measurement of about 29"x24.5". A spectacular painting, searing in its simplicity, one of the most emotionally taut portraits I've seen.

Marked on the base with the numbers 2870 and 20. It may be the most impressively decorated jasperware we've seen.
