  2. El gusto es un poco dudoso pero la gente compro millones de copias de la pintura de la mujer verde. El donĂ³ sus trabajos al Museo de Arte de Sudafrica (Donde vivia) y se los rechazaron.

    When I view these pieces I see the time and quality involved , it's such a reality check in so many ways.

  12. The Green Lady is forever in the mind of the British through a peproduction appearing many times over in TV shows in particular 'Only Fools and Horses'.

    I think one Prop House has several copies as well as other pieces but it is 'The Green Lady' that I've seen the most.
