About the Item

"Jerry" - Caricature Portrait Etching A dual portrait in an illustrative, cartoon style by Michael Pauker (American, b. 1957). Two men are portrayed in an exaggerated style.

Signed "Michael Pauker" in the lower left. Dated "1-77" in the lower right. Presented in a new tan mat with foamcore backing. Paper size: 8.75"H x 13.5"W “I’m driven by curiosity...where it comes from I can’t tell you; it’s just there.
