Few artists shaped the visual language of fantasy quite like Frank Frazetta. This stunning original painting - often referred to as "Captive Princess" - was hand-painted by the legendary artist for the 1973 Ace paperback cover of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The People That Time Forgot.
Created at the height of Frazetta’s career, this painting comes from the same prolific period that produced unforgettable imagery for Burroughs’ Tarzan and John Carter adventures, as well as Robert E. Howard’s Conan. By the 1970s, Frazetta had become a cultural phenomenon, his paintings dominating paperback covers and posters around the world and defining the heroic fantasy aesthetic for generations of fans.
His influence is immeasurable. Artists like Boris Vallejo and Ken Kelly followed in his footsteps, while collectors have pushed original Frazetta paintings to staggering heights - including a Conan cover that surpassed $10 million at auction in 2025.
Works like this rarely appear on the market, making it a true centrepiece for fantasy art collectors. Check out the full #PropstoreLiveAuction catalog and learn more about this incredible piece 👉 bit.ly/springliveauction2026
