Description

Captivating portrait with a heartfelt inscription: “You know how to be a real friend”

Legendary screen actress (1911–1937), known for her unique sex appeal and her distinctive platinum blonde hairdo, who died of renal failure at the age of 26. Striking and incredibly scarce vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 13 head-and-shoulders Walters photo of Harlow wrapping herself in a fur, boldly signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Betty—With all my love—you know how to be a real friend—Lovingly, Jean.” Beautifully double-matted and framed to an overall size of 15 x 19. In fine condition, with a single vertical crease extending from the top edge to the right of Harlow’s eyeline, otherwise a remarkably stunning, crystal-clear studio portrait. Authentically signed Harlow images are scarce, even more so in oversized examples. A gorgeous portrait, featuring a particularly bold and well-contrasted, intimate inscription from this most legendary and elusive of Hollywood rarities. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
