Lot 4: Spectacular 1950s Wrestling Painting with the Swedish Angel
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Beautiful painting from the early 1950s is undoubtedly influenced by the rash of wrestling on early television. Shows two men grappled in the holds of the day and a lone referee studying their match intently. One of the wrestlers is undoubtedly the legendary Swedish Angel. The background is blessed with the imagery of lusty spectators and eager photographers. Painting itself measures 33.5x25” and is nestled in its original frame. Superb quality piece is artist signed by John Carafeil and magnificent.
