ORIGINAL Gene Szafran 16x20" photo Seated nude ca 1980s

Archival repair to two left edge splits. From the collection of the artist / photographer. One of the prints in this collection shows the information in the second image, but this one is not so identified or titled. Perhaps a study for one or more of his illustrations or simply a separate work. Undated, but we believe it to be from the 1980s.
