Phenomenal, distinguished vintage matte-finish 9.75 x 12.75 half-length photo of Patton wearing battle dress with his combat helmet exhibiting his Four-Star rank, and looking sternly into the camera, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen “To Capt. R. Maurer from G.S. Patton, Jr.” Archivally triple cloth matted and framed, the frame bearing a five-point star in each corner, to an overall size of 17 x 20.5. In very good to fine condition, with several horizontal creases to right side, a few lightly affecting image, and scattered light silvering to darker areas.
The piercing, authoritative gaze of Patton is just one of the mesmerizing features of this amazing portrait. Considered one of the greatest US generals during World War II, Patton dominates the image as he stares at the camera lens...and through the observer. His battlefield exploits helped earn him his rank as a full general, but his uncontrollable temper—which appears to boil just beneath the surface of this image—and comments concerning Allied countries and leaders led to his removal from command of the US Third Army. Truly one of the finest Patton images we have seen, dating between his promotion to general in April 1945 and his December 1945 car accident that caused injuries leading to his death.
