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. Framed to an overall size of 12½ x
16½".
Estimated Value $450-550.
