This gorgeous 20 x 38" painting of Babe Ruth, framed to 24 x 40", features an incredibly detailed, almost photo-quality rendering of the Great Bambino doing what he did best: Swinging away. Depicted in full Yankees gear with the classic pinstripe design, the Babe has rarely if ever looked better than he does here. Painted by Arthur K. Miller, known for his expressive and accurate sports portraits, this piece is swimming with amazing details, from the shadows cast to the blades of grass in the background, the subtle blur behind Ruth, and even the reflection on the bat. It all comes together to make one of the most attractive and aesthetically pleasing pieces of sports art we've seen.
