Howell Dodd was was born in 1910.  He is well known for his illustrations and pulp-like images that graced the detective and adventure magazines of the 1940s and 1950s.

This wonderful drawing was executed sometime in the late 40s, I'm guessing, probably for a men's magazine of the period.  It is a great example of Dodd's style, full of detail, passion and an underlying eroticism, and larger than his average work. 

I examined the artwork out of the frame and the paper appears to have been once mounted, as was common many years ago.  But except for some fade to light yellow, the paper and artwork are still in excellent shape.  All acid free materials are now used to display this wonderful piece.
