Pencil Portraits of the French Royal Family from the Medici Period Francois Clouet Copies Drawn by Barbara OSullivan to be Valued by Sotherbys in New Bond Street London The drawings can



April 8, 2005 -- Miss O'Sullivan has decided to sell the drawings because they are becoming too valuable to be stored at her home and she cannot afford to have them insured or framed in the gold frames that they deserve. The drawings have been described as Museum standard by her former art teacher, Joe Birt of West London, and the drawings have been dry mounted since 1992 when they were originally drawn. They were originally framed by Picture Man in Chiswick.

Sotherbys of New Bond Street, London, have kindly been asked to give a valuation of the drawings with a view to them being sold at Auction.

The National Portrait Gallery in London have declined to buy the drawings as they only purchase portraits of British subjects. The author has also drawn a pencil portrait of Charles Dickins, which is not for sale; her son, Mark Paul Maliszewski a Rock Star with Mark Viking Experience in Amsterdam, has drawn a pencil portrait of Marlon Brando (Wild One) as a present to his mother, which will never be for sale.

Miss O'Sullivan's drawings appear on her website, www.sirwalterraleightrialandhistory.com and in her book, The King's Quinto: The Life and Times of Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) Publish America, USA, 2004, ISBN 1413708285. Her portrait of Le Dauphin Francis graces the front cover of the book.

Miss O'Sullivan is currently working on a new novel entitled Oscar Defoe and the Victorian Workhouse 1896 and it is being viewed by a literary Agent in London at the present time.
