Here, in fabulous color, one of the greatest players from the glory years of the National Pastime is presented in a beautifully detailed painting. The bountiful hues and striking design make this work an extremely impressive glimpse of baseball history. This is a gorgeous modern oil-on-canvas portrait of Christy Mathewson, a depiction representing the Hall of Famer at the height of his career. The painting's background shades, suggesting but not defining a baseball stadium environment, provide an ideal surround for the image of this singular athletic icon. Brilliantly rendered by noted sports artist Ron Stark, the artwork measures 15-1/2" x 19-1/2" and is framed slightly larger.
