Fantastic one-of-a-kind mixed media original artwork by Flagg, done in pencil, watercolor, and paint and measuring 10.75 x 8.25. Work depicts the Queen Mary ocean liner with the upper portion of a buxom female emanating from the bow, with a word balloon beckoning, “Ahoy Montie-E-E What are you waiting for?” with Flagg drawing himself sitting in the background atop pilings at the New York pier, his hands over his ears, saying, “Never heard of ya!” Framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 9. In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and some scattered mild toning. While some quick ink self-portraits of the artist are available, such large and risque watercolors are extraordinarily rare. RR Auction COA.
