D. Mattingly Original Oil Painting 42x30 By F.Stapleton
Don Mattingly Original Oil Painting By Artist, F. Stapleton (Signed & Dated By Artist, Frank Stapleton '98) Widely considered to be among the most popular Yankees of all-time, Donald Arthur Mattingly played his entire 14-year career with the Bronx Bombers. A 6-time All-Star selection, "Donnie Baseball" was revered for both his sweet lefty swing at the plate (3-time Silver Slugger Award winner), and his flashy glove work at first base (9-time Gold Glove Award winner). Mattingly was named the 1985 American League MVP, and although the former Yankees Captain never appeared in a World Series game, he maintains his special place in team lore. This beautiful Original Oil Painting of Don Mattingly by Sports Artist, Frank Stapleton, is hand signed by the Artist, Frank Stapleton, and dated '98 on the lower left of the painting. The medium of the painting is oil on masonite board. The unframed dimensions are 42" X 30". The painting is in excellent condition. A serially numbered, destructible eggshell tamper-proof seal is affixed to the art and it is accompanied by a tamper-proof, forge-proof, copy-proof Certificate of Authenticity from Elaine's Fine Art. The COA also has a matching serially numbered seal affixed to it. Any tampering with the seals causes the seal to fragment, making it impossible to reuse, further insuring the authenticity of the item. The purchaser is also recorded as the registered owner. If the item is a gift, please indicate the name, street address, city, state and zip code of the recipient, before making payment, so that the COA can be registered to them.
