A 1976 limited edition serigraph on paper by well-listed American artist and conservationist Charley Harper (Cincinnati Ohio, 1922 – 2007), titled Love from Above. This sweet image depicts a mother giraffe bending her long neck down to groom the ear of her bright-eyed infant below. This work is signed, titled and numbered by the artist in pencil to the lower margin, set behind glass and mounted in a contemporary frame, equipped to hang. A certificate of authenticity signed by Brett Harper accompanies this piece.

Harper was a beloved Cincinnati-based artist and conservationist, renowned for his minimal realism style. He was quoted as saying “I don’t try to put everything in, I try to leave everything out.” His work is delightfully laced with humor and sometimes includes short prose.
