Loving (1908–1971). Titled "The Marchand Court, Old New Orleans," this finely detailed work showcases Loving’s masterly handling of architecture, highlighting a sweeping Creole spiral staircase, overhead structural galleries, and lush hanging ivy contrasting against sun-dappled textures.

Loving was highly regarded for preserving the architectural legacy of the Vieux Carré, printing his works on an antique 19th-century press sourced from the U.S. Mint. This particular print is hand-signed by the artist in pencil on the lower right, titled on the lower left, and designated as part of a highly collectible limited print run ("Ed/200") at the lower center. Housed in a custom frame under glass with a protective mat, it provides an exquisite piece of Southern regional art history perfect for any collector of traditional realism, architectural studies, or American mid-century art.
