I have 4-etchings copyrighted by Camilla Lucas 1937 for the artist Meunier. They are nudes orange and the label says they are genuine French etchings. They are numbered G-114 to G-118 (115 is missing). The trade mark says it is SZL They are signed by the artist in pencil, the initial of the first name is a J,or P.
I have a second piece of art that is a bronze. It is signed by Gustavo Obiols. It is a nude about 27" tall on a marble base with her right arm extending upward holding a star. She is standing on an upright object that resembles the sea and there is a bird of some nature on the sea.

Hello there. What is your question?
Also, please don't take this the wrong way, but I find that describing a painting, a sculpture, etc. in this way is comparable to describing a person that way and expecting them to be recognized. If you would like us to know what you're referencing, some pictures would be helpful.

ah, information on artists and value. Sorry, I missed the title on that one. It's stating the obvious, but I recommend you find an appraiser for information related to their value. If you would like to post pictures of the pieces, I would still be happy to take a look at them. It's up to you.

Hi, wikiman!
Most likely, the etchings that you have are works that were produced by the Paris Etching Society. For more information about that, please click on the following link of this site.

Also, they are most likely prints that were produced in a fairly large quantity and are autographed by the artist. Most of these don't go for all that much money. For some of the rarer and finer ones though, I have found some that have been worth at least in the hundreds of dollars. But again, those are rare and the finest of the bunches that were produced.
Concerning the bronze statue that you have, I have found some information on the following links concerning other works by that artist. Haven't found any monetary value for you to make any comparisons with yet, though. Perhaps I, or someone else will find them though.
