Details
Original drawing on paper in pen and ink, around 1959, possibly published in the Saturday Evening Post or the New York Times, of Konstantine Karamanlis, many times Prime Minister of Greece. Drawing on white paper is pasted onto a larger piece of paper which states on verso: ‘Kroll Karicature Service, Konstantine Karamanlis, of Greece in agreement with Turkey on Cyprus (he negotiated a deal with Turkey for the independence of Cyprus)’ and a stamped New York address. Kroll, who left Germany in 1933 when the Nazis came to power, became a ‘celebrity caricaturist’ in the USA who drew caricatures of thousands of public figures in America and around the world. Paper size 15 x 10 cm (6 x 4 inch), image size 8.5 x 5 cm, signed lower right. In good condition
