I have inherited a painting of a very wealthy great aunt recently, called ''The Spirit of Life'...

Question

It has a black and white background with drawings of zebras, people, ghosts etc. It is called ''The Spirit Of Life'' and it is 12 out of 25 paintings, i do not have the other 24 paintings. It was by someone with the second name Rice, i couldnt work out the first name but i looked like Month. Does anyone know anything about the aritst or the paintings?

Answer 1

Had a really good think about this and it`s completely stumped me,I guess 12 out of 25 is more likely to be a print run number,The name could be Monty Rice or Maud Rice,but had a look on eBay and a couple of other sites and found nothing,try taking them to a local auction house for some advice,try to stay away from the dodgy antique dealers who might not give you a proper description and price,

Answer 2

If your art has a 12/24 this means it is a limited edition print, yours being the 12th one pulled.
