George C. Scott Caricature by Al Hirschfeld

This item is a framed ink drawing print featuring a caricature of the actor George C. Scott, rendered in the iconic linear style of the renowned artist Al Hirschfeld. The artwork is a black and white composition on off-white paper, characterized by flowing, rhythmic calligraphic lines that define the subject's features, including a prominent forehead, sharp profile, and a hand holding a slim cigarette or prop. It features Hirschfeld's signature stamped or printed at the lower right of the figure, with additional copyright and attribution text visible along the bottom right edge, indicating it is likely a licensed reproduction or gallery print. The piece is housed in a simple black frame under glass. The physical condition appears generally good, with some aging of the paper (slight yellowing) and minor dust or debris under the glass. The style suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century creation, consistent with the height of Scott's career and Hirschfeld's prolific output for the New York Times and theatre programs. The craftsmanship is high-quality, showcasing the minimal yet expressive linework for which the artist is famous. Notably, the artist often hid his daughter's name 'Nina' in the lines of his drawings, which is a classic feature to look for in Hirschfeld pieces.
