Two remarkable oversized original 1930s portraits of the Kennedy clan:
An extremely rare, striking original matte-finish 12.75 x 9.75 photo showing the Kennedy family in the living room of their home in Bronxville, New York, taken by acclaimed photographer Fabian Bachrach in 1938. This incredibly high quality formal image originates from Bachrach's personal collection and was obtained directly from his family. A portrait of this caliber is something that few would possess, with the Kennedy's themselves hanging a similar portrait in their own home. Shown left to right are Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.; Patricia Kennedy; John F. Kennedy; Jean Kennedy; Eunice Kennedy; Robert Kennedy; Kathleen Kennedy; Edward Kennedy; Rosemary Kennedy; Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.; and Rose Kennedy. Gilt-stamped in the lower right by Bachrach. Affixed to a slightly larger high quality contemporaneous mount. Although they are very closely associated with Boston, the Kennedy clan moved from Brookline, Massachusetts, to Bronxville in 1927, where the family lived until 1942. Bachrach was one of America's most prominent portrait photographers of the 20th century, especially of US commanders-in-chief, and remains most well-known for JFK's iconic 1961 presidential portrait. A stunning, crystal-clear portrait of America's greatest political dynasty from Bachrach's own files.
An outstanding original matte-finish 13 x 10 portrait of the Kennedy family circa 1935, showing them at their family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with JFK seen next to his brother Joe, Jr., standing behind the couch. In fine condition. An absolutely beautiful image capturing the essence of the powerful American family.
In overall fine condition.
