Two Signed Emile Bellet Seriolithographs Appraisal

Two Signed Emile Bellet Seriolithographs

This lot features two signed seriolithographs by the artist Emile Bellet. Each print depicts a stylized female figure, possibly a mermaid or Siren, in a vibrant, naturalistic setting, characteristic of Bellet's Post-Impressionistic style. One print shows a woman with flowing yellow hair and a yellow-orange draped garment, seated by blue water under a colorful sky with hints of verdant foliage a cliffside. A second print features a similar female figure, also with long yellow hair and a yellow dress, sitting near blue water, possibly on a rocky outcrop, with green foliage to the right foreground and a vibrant, warm-toned sky. The colors are rich and saturated, with blues, yellows, oranges, and greens prominently featured. The prints appear to be on high-quality paper, likely white or off-white, with visible margins around the artwork. A ruler is placed in front of the prints, suggesting a size of approximately 12 inches in width for each print's image area or overall paper size. Both prints are accompanied by what appear to be Certificates of Authenticity, visible as two separate sheets of paper with text on either side of the prints. The quality of the printing appears good, with clear line work and solid color application, indicative of the seriolithograph process which combines aspects of serigraphy (screen printing) and lithography. No obvious condition issues such as tears, creases, or significant discoloration are discernible from the image, suggesting they are well-preserved. There are no visible frames, and the prints seem to be unframed. The 'signed' aspect indicates the artist's authentic signature is present on each piece, adding to their collectible value. The style period aligns with contemporary art, specifically reflecting Post-Impressionistic influences from the late 20th to early 21st century.
