Description

Stylish original Barrymore caricature used in the program for the 1939 production My Dear Children

Original vintage ink and colored artist’s pencil drawing of a caricature of Barrymore in profile, one hand holding a smoldering cigarette and the other hand tucked into his jacket pocket, on a 7.25 x 11 light gray artist’s board, signed in the lower right corner by the artist “Thelson.” This exact drawing was recreated for the souvenir program for Barrymore’s appearance in the comedy play My Dear Children, and is featured on the first page. An original copy of the program is included. In fine condition. A unique and well-done offering which captures Barrymore’s sophistication. RR Auction COA.
