"Della Crying" Gift of the Magi original book illustration art interior 1994

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 - PAINTINGThe Gift of the Magi: "Della Sobbing" artist: Carol HeyerThis is an Original painting by Carol Heyer created for "The Gift of the Magi" - a 32 page children's book illustrated by Heyer but of course based on the famous short story by O. Henry from 1905 - published by Ideals Publishing Company 1994, and widely seen because it was distributed through Walmart! (I show the published book cover and title page for reference) Heyer is well known as an author and illustrator of children's books, with more than 30 to her credit - and several of them relating to the Christmas and Easter Holidays. For this book, Carol produced paintings that reflect the turn-of-the-century setting of O. Henry's classic tale, including her three main characters: Della and Jim, the struggling newlyweds so anxious to give each other a Christmas gift that each sells the one thing the other holds most dear, and Madame Sofronie, the owner of a hair shop where Della sells her hair to pay for a gift for Jim. Faced with the terrible decision that she must sell her beautiful long hair - the thing she holds most dear - Della collapses in tears. Note the lovely Christmas decorations on the mantel, the old-fashioned sofa and table, and all the details that make this a wonderful interior illustration, painted in acrylic on unstretched canvas 11" x 8.5" and signed by Heyer. 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.
