World-famous Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso hand-drawn sketch signed. Inked piece is likely one of Caruso's opera contemporaries in character, or possibly an acquaintance. Signed and dated ''Enrico Caruso / 20/4/15'' along with the name, ''Sal...Umberto''. Best known for his signature role as Canio in ''Pagliacci,'' Caruso sang as a tenor at the New York Metropolitan Opera and counted Italian, German and French operas among his repertoire. Caruso's distinctive drawing style is evident in this sketch, matted in white to an overall size of 10.5'' x 14.5''. Toning and blotting to subject's hat and a numerical pencil notation to lower right of mat, else near fine.
