Sonja Henie Norway Ice Skater Film Actress Antique Painting Hand Art Drawing

SMbox1 This vintage original early large hand drawn watercolour on paper has come from the private antique collection of 1940s and 1950s Hollywood artist Ms Grace.E.Taylor whose extensive and specialist early collection of her personally drawn works of some of the greatest film actors and actresses of her era I have secured at my store. Whilst I am still researching the artist, provenance letters which came with the collection show her writing to Hollywood stars asking her to sign her artworks after she had completed them (As an example of this I attach a random actors letter to the additional scans of this listing).  In a number of cases some have been personally autographed by the Hollywood actors and actresses by reply (also listed at my store), and all show great personality & character with her hand drawn works of art from the Golden Age Of Hollywood that cannot be replicated today, you really feel you are holding in your hands a personally detailed drawn item of the actors as she drew them when they were just very young & early in their career climbing their way to stardom and success.

This particular work of art is an antique hand painting of approximately 10" x 8" on paper where she has captured the personality & character of the actress perfectly.  Close examination of the scan will show you the extent of her toning, shading, colouring & expression in this work, which must have taken her many hours to complete all those years ago.   It is rich with detail personally created and surely represents one of the most unique personal souvenirs of this historic actress from the era you will surely ever find of its kind.   I am selling all her collection and each shows the passion she had for the actors and actresses and the time & love which went into each portrait. Condition is with light edge occasional imperfections otherwise outstanding and ready to be framed on arrival for its new home. Please see all the other works & historic paintings of Miss Grace E Taylor all listed at my store including those she had personally signed by the Hollywood actors and actresses. A truly one off opportunity for any Sonja Henie fan or collector of her memorabilia.
