Is that Maxfield Parrish daughter? The goofball enjoyed painting nude pictures of his daughters. All of his stuff WAS worth a fortune, but I think the market fell?

KK, Maxfield Parrish was an artist, and illustrator from the early to mid 20th century that used really odd colors for the time. His pictures were like looking at what some people do to Digital Pictures today. He however had a habit of using his daughters as models for his many nearly nude pictures, and became crazy popular as an artist/illustrator. Being that i collected cookbooks, and cookbook pamphlets he had illustrated a Jell-o booklet that was nearly impossible to find. I finally got one, and when I did EVERYTHING lost It's value. Anyhow, he was very famous for mostly his illustrations In books, like Arabian Nights. The book Is valuable because of his work.
