K-175 VIRGINIA COFFMAN Moura (c. 1959; 1963; 1st thus; ACE Gothic Novel)

Original cover art for K-175. Attributed to Lou Marchetti (1920-1992). Gouache on illustration board, overall size is 20.5 x 15, image size is 18.5 x 12.5.

The relationship of the two women, based strictly on the artwork, is left up to the viewers perception.
