Portrait of Stalin, Lithograph on Cardboard, circa late 1930s - early 40s.
Measures 9 ½" x 11 ¾", printed on thin coated cardboard. The artwork is unsigned but the style is strongly reminiscent of the lithographs by F. Maloletkova. Possibly, this was a test print made by the artist and not meant to be sold.
In very good to excellent condition. It appears that the lithograph used to be affixed to a backing and framed. The verso shows clear evidence of that. Two small closed tears at the top on the right side were incurred while removing the artwork from the frame, easily repairable with acid-free tape on the verso, if desired. A new frame will hide the wear to the margins from view and prolong the life of the lithograph. On the other hand, it adds to the air of age and authenticity, and is quite attractive, as is the sepia tone of the aged cardboard.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
