Edward Gorey original artwork, rendered in pen, ink and watercolor, informally titled ''Tattooed Man and Associate''. This charming, somewhat absurdist artwork by Gorey was likely completed in the early 1950s, showing a man covered in swirly tattoos speaking to his companion in the library, with amusing touches such as the man holding a miniature person or statue, and a chamber pot next to the reclined reader. Visible portion of artwork measures 6.375'' x 4.875''. Not examined out of frame, but appears near fine. With original receipt from the Gotham Book Mart, whose close relationship with Gorey helped launch his career.
