Description

Incredible oversized photo that captures her equine affection

Vintage matte-finish 10.5 x 13.25 portrait of Lombard crouched in a field with one of her horses, affixed to an original 15 x 19.5 mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen, “To Chatty, Dear, Devotedly, Auntie Carole.” In very good condition, with moderate to heavy creasing to the mount (not affecting the image or signature), a tear to the upper right edge of the mount, and tack holes to top and bottom; the photo itself is extremely sharp and unaffected. Lombard loved horses and owned many throughout her tragically abbreviated life—the horse in this image appears to be one of her favorites, a palomino gelding named Pico. Provenance: William Collier Family Collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
