From the eBay description: "This piece is unframed and unfinished and I don't believe that Van ever planned on selling it and yet he sent it to me packed with a number of other finished pieces back in '03.
As far as I can tell this painting is a nude study and was not intended to be anything but that. I feel like this is what gives this piece it's intrinsic value. The painting contains all of the power and exacting talent the artist put into his other work of intent and yet it claims its simplicity in structure and is allowed to stand with the nudes of the masters.
This piece has an extremely low starting bid for the simple reason that it was unfinished (see hands), but this may be the only unfinished and simple nude you'll ever see from Mr. Arno."
