Description

Restaurant Rembrandt

Original ballpoint sketch of a boat on a beach on an off-white 5 x 3 sheet, signed “Frank Sinatra.” Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner, which reads, in part: “I was pianist at Frascati Restaurant in Beverly Hills, California from 1954 to 1967…. Mr. Sinatra came in alone, and sat at an obscure table. He asked the waitress for a piece of paper and a pen. After about an hour, he got up and left the sketch on the table. The waitress caught him in the lobby, and he autographed it. The sketch is a copy of a Benton Scott painting on the wall above his table.” In very good condition, with light toning from previous framing and a few faint stains slightly touching signature. R&R COA.
