Chaplain, Charlie. Framed to an overall size of 12½ x 16½". (1889-1977). Film Actor and Director. Chaplin is considered a master of film comedy, who helped make silent film an art with such films as The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), and Modern Times (1936).
Printed Sketch Signed. Printed Sketch by "Batis" depicting the comedian with his hallmark bowler hat and cropped mustache, fitted out in a dapper polka-dot bow tie. Chaplin's face has an expression of supercilious offense: his eyebrows are raised, his mouth pursed tight as he contemplates some spectacle of unforgivable outrage. Inscribed "Hello! - Charlie Chaplin" in brown ink at top right. Fine.
Estimated Value $450 - 550.
