Caricature Tile of Al Hirschfeld on a Hobby Horse

This item is a decorative square ceramic tile featuring a black and white line-art caricature of the legendary American artist Al Hirschfeld. The illustration, rendered in a style reminiscent of Hirschfeld's own famous aesthetic, depicts a bespectacled man with curly hair and a prominent nose—bearing a striking resemblance to the artist himself—riding a striped hobby horse while brandishing a stylized dagger. The artwork is printed in black ink on a glossy white ceramic surface. The tile appears to be approximately 6 inches by 6 inches in size. A small signature is visible on the lower right side of the illustration, though not fully legible at this resolution. The condition is generally good with no visible chips or surface cracks, although there is a slight shadow or reflection on the lower left portion of the tile. Judging by the subject matter and style, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 2000s and was likely produced as a piece of memorabilia celebrating the artist's legacy. The fine line work and hatching techniques demonstrate a deliberate attempt to capture the iconic 'Hirschfeld style' through ceramic printing or transfer.
