Offered here is an original oil on canvas painting titled “A Princess of the Ivahs” done by Carl Barks in 1968.  Years before Barks began doing his famous duck paintings, he was painting magnificent realistic pieces such as this one.  Numbered on the back as #40-68 and titled “A Princess of the Ivahs,” this piece measures 18” x 24”.  The painting is in excellent condition and is signed in the lower left corner by Carl Barks.  While Barks duck paintings can easily fetch over one hundred thousand dollars, this one is being offered at considerably less.  Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to buy an original oil on canvas painting by the great Carl Barks.
