Unknown Artists: Italian School Late 19th Century - Male Nudes

                                                                       *
Last night I was cruising around on eBay Italy and found two very nice late 19th century male nude studies on paper for sale. I grabbed them at the asking price. The seller did not list any identifying information regarding the artists and both appear to be unsigned. I cringe at the time it will take to get these out of Italy considering my last experience with Italian customs. It seems the bureaucratic wheels of Italian customs turn at a snails pace and require mounds of paperwork. I can't really blame them for wanting to protect their cultural heritage. Enjoy.
