Original Portrait of Bob Dylan by Karen Schwartz – Large Framed Painting

This is an original mixed-media portrait of Bob Dylan by acclaimed contemporary artist Karen Schwartz, known for her bold, expressive style and emotionally charged portraits. Schwartz’s large-format paintings often sell in the $5,000–$6,000 range through galleries and private placements, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a major work at an accessible price.

This piece is in very good overall condition, with only minor age-related wear to the frame. The frame itself is solid wood with a handsome presentation that complements the artwork.

About Shipping and Framing

To ensure safe delivery and reduce shipping costs, the artwork will be shipped without the glass. Glass can break during transit and potentially damage the piece. Replacing the glass locally is inexpensive, and the existing frame is fully ready for a new pane. The frame shows light scuffs and dings consistent with normal handling.

The painting will be packed professionally with strong protection for both the artwork and the frame.
