Description:   Woman stopping man at door. 
Comment:  I guess that an awful lot of collectors think of Edwin Georgi as …’simply’… a brilliant colorist and depicter of female beauty. This piece proves that there was really a lot more to him than ‘just’ someone who could paint a pretty face. It’s the suspense and danger that make this a real winner in my book. He also comes through here as a fine storyteller… with just the swinging of the woman’s earring to indicate the rushed movement of the scene… all the time allowing for the innocent enthusiasm that our heroine will soon regret. Sorry, I no longer have the magazine, but it doesn’t seem to be a hard one to buy on the internet. 
Price: $2,950  (includes domestic shipping)
