Description
62" (157 cm.) x 22" full length. 31" x 22" Shirley image. Thick-ink drawing on paper is a caricature of young Shirley Temple in tap dancing pose, her dimples and curls well expressed. Pencil signed at the bottom is "To Shirley Love from Feg Murray (see you in the funny papers)". The back side is a caricature sketch of a gentleman in suit and hat. Feg Murray (1907-1962) studied art at Stanford University and became known as an artist, writer, and syndicated columnist, mostly for his series "Seein' Stars" which combined sketches of stars with pithy trivia related to the sketch. This sketch was a personal tribute to the young star who appeared in his columns over and over again. Some darkening, overall excellent, unframed, original crease folds. Early 1930s.
