James C. Christensen Signed 1985 \"King Ramses II\" Lithograph Rare Edition 25/100 For Sale

Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, early-career limited-edition fine art lithograph by the highly acclaimed fantasy artist James C. Christensen (1942–2017). Titled \"King Ramses II,\" this stunning 1985 piece marks a brilliant historical departure from the artist’s later whimsical, character-driven works, making it a highly unique and sought-after portfolio acquisition for serious collectors.
