Interior with Two Ladies - Louis de Niverville - 1970s
type: Product
description: An exceptional original oil on canvas by celebrated Canadian modernist Louis de Niverville (1933–2019) entitled Interior with Two Ladies, signed lower right and retaining its original Art Rental Service of The Art Gallery of Toronto exhibition label to the reverse.
