Jean Harlow Signed Portrait Photo


Rare and exquisite vintage matte-finish 10.5 x 13.5 portrait of the gorgeous Harlow wrapped in a fur shawl, signed and inscribed in the lower right in fountain pen, “To my Ruthie & Johnny, I love you both more than you will ever, ever know—Yours, Jean.” Affixed to a same-size mount. In fine condition, with a crease to the upper right corner. Johnny Hamp, one of the recipients of the photo, was a well-known jazz bandleader of the Kentucky Serenaders, and he and his wife, Ruthie, were Harlow’s close personal friends. A captivating image in the elusive oversized format. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
