This is a genuine lithograph from a limited edition printing of only 30 copies. It is hand signed in pencil by the artist. The artist is Robert B Green and the title of the piece is 'From "To a Lotus" II' and dated 1980.

My grandmother's first husband's (not my grandfather) brother was Robert B Green, who taught art at KU and died in 2007. I did not know that side of the family but I recently inherited the lithograph from my father.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your request. The presented object is a lithograph or color etching print with unknown measurements. It depicts an abstract composition showing amongst others a penholder, a card with a bord and lotus leaves. The print is titled "From "To a Lotus" II", has the edition of 21/30", dated "(19)80" and monogrammed "R.B.G." The monogram is to identify with Robert Berkeley GREEN (1909-2007).
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 60 to 120 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
