One of the great practitioners of sports art has produced this remarkable hand-embellished artist proof that includes additional highlighting, toning and varnish added by the artist to a spectacular 32-by-19-inch giclee of three individual portrayals of the great Honus Wagner. Numbered 1/5 as an artist proof, the amazing artwork pictures the Hall of Famer in stunning fashion in three poses that convey the viewer back to the turn of the century when baseball ruled America, and Honus Wagner ruled baseball. The lot represents a unique opportunity to pick up artwork from one of the most accomplished craftsmen working in the sports arena, a memorable depiction worthy of one of the greatest players in the history of the game. The elegant giclee canvas includes his signature and a number of notations around the white border detailing the hand embellishments and highlights that have been added to his masterful work.
