"Father Christmas" by Dave Pether original advertising illustration art 1970s

Description: Every November I offer original illustration art that celebrates the Holiday season. I choose paintings that not only depict images in the Christmas spirit, but also - ones that artists allow me sell at prices that also reflect that "Christmas spirit"! Almost 100% of these paintings are not offered on my web site, nor offered for sale at any other time of the year. So you have a very limited time to make them yours - once Christmas and Hanukkah and New Year's come and go, these listings end. So jump in and "buy it now" or make me an offer I can't refuse. Decide quickly and you'll have them under your tree in time! ORIGINAL ART - PAINTING"FATHER CHRISTMAS" artist: DAVE PETHERThis is an Original painting created by the British illustrator Dave Pether (1943-2021) for an advertisement, one in a series of commercial designs for an advertising agency, in the 1970s - this one believed to be used for the box/packaging of Holiday "fairy lights". Painted in gouache and acrylic on heavy/thick paper, c. 10" x 8" and comes with a label on the reverse, signed by the artist's widow attesting to authenticity (Pether rarely if ever signed his illustrations). Note the brush strokes on the garland, I have taken a photo "close up" so you can see the details! This is a "once a year" opportunity to purchase one of Pether's originals, and the only one I have that so perfectly celebrates Christmas! NOTE: No rights of reproduction accompany the sale. Overseas buyers: there are some locations to which I prefer not to ship; if you want me to consider an exception for you, please message me through eBay. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me before bidding.
