Monochrome work by Stanley Cursiter

Photos taken ca 1995. I don't know when the originals were made - or whether they have titles.
Perhaps a less familiar side of Cursiter's work. Nudes were almost obligatory for artists in those days no doubt, but he seems to have been into 'fantasy' art as well. The old woman seated in the top right picture may be a chaperon; she looks bored out of her mind.
(Keen-eyed viewers may spot a weel-kent face reflected in the glass of one picture.)
