World-famous Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso hand-drawn caricature. Portrait in pencil is a representation of Caruso's contemporary Pol Plancon, the famed operatic bass from France. Portrait depicts a profile of Plancon, renowned for his vocal quality and precision and, with Caruso, was among the earliest vocal artists to pioneer recorded music. Caruso was the first to sell a million records at the dawn of the medium. His distinctive drawing style is evident in this sketch, rendered on verso of a single sheet of Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires stationery. Viewable area measures 8'' x 10.5''. Matted in white to an overall size of 10.5'' x 14.5''. Toning and creasing to paper and a numerical pencil notation to the lower right corner of mat, else near fine.
