Reflecting his Post-War School of Paris influence, these large-scale masterpieces are 100% hand-painted original works on paper layering fluid watercolor blooms, rich opaque gouache, and spontaneous calligraphic black India ink linework.

Collection Layout & Identification:
Designed and framed to hang as a synchronized, single-wall architectural gallery installation:
• EXHIBIT 1: "Lovers in Paris" - Portrait (Vertical) orientation. Left flanking wing.
• EXHIBIT 2: "Musicians and Performers” - Portrait (Vertical) orientation. Right flanking wing.
• EXHIBIT 3: "Equestrian Lovers” - Landscape (Horizontal) orientation. Sweeping central panoramic anchor.

Studio Provenance:
All three pieces feature a rare, matching handwritten dedication from the artist along the lower margins, reading "To my friend •DANNY• from Cobelle" (Exhibits 1 & 2) and "To my friend DAN from Cobelle" (Exhibit 3). Under extreme macro inspection, the liquid ink overlays the watercolor base and pencil layout lines, confirming an ironclad direct-from-studio lineage.

Archival Presentation & Framing:
Sourced from a prominent local estate in Las Vegas, Nevada, these pieces were carefully removed from their deteriorating legacy frames and fully stabilized using professional archival materials:
• Housed in brand-new, contemporary Solid Wood Black gallery frames (24"x36" footprint).
• Suspended via fully reversible top-edge hinge mounts using Lineco archival linen tape, protecting the paper tooth and allowing it to expand naturally.
• Backed with a rigid, 3/16" Acid-Free Conservation Foam Backing Board.
• Completely dust-sealed to the reverse frame miter channels using professional Lineco Framing Tape.
• Glazing: Standard shatter-resistant organic glass (plexiglass) as supplied by the frame manufacturer. Provides excellent clarity and ensures safe, lightweight parcel shipping.
