The lithograph will be shipped in its new frame. 19.7 x 15.4 in. (50 x 39 cm). Artist and Musician John Lennon (1940-1980). Art was actually John Lennon's first love. He began drawing long before he had a guitar, then attended the prestigious Liverpool Art Institute for three years (1957-60) before the Beatles became a full-time occupation. He continued to draw throughout his life. John originally created a portfolio of drawings in 1969 which he entitled "Bag One". These drawings depicted John and Yoko's wedding and honeymoon and he presented them to her as a wedding gift. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Ireland)
