Phenomenal Trompe L'Oeil Painting by this well known and established Russian couple. The artists were both trained at the Academy of Theatre, Music and Cinematography in St Petersburg and then moved to Paris in 1981. At a recent show at the Albemarle Gallery in London the Grans' pieces were priced from £25,000 to £75,000.

Please note there is a very superficial scratch on the painting towards the bottom right hand corner.   Place a Bid!
