Original vintage signed pencil sketch of Jacqueline Kennedy on the reverse of an 8.5 x 11 letter he received while in jail, signed in the lower right, “Jack Ruby.” The initial letter, undated but circa 1964, was written by prominent lawyer Melvin M. Belli, in part: “I sincerely hope the new year brings you relief. The law in the Apellate Court will give it to you, if only your case could be heard. You know I have a brief on file for you…I have a deep and abiding conviction that if nothing else were filed this brief would reverse your conviction.” Intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through the right side of her face), otherwise fine condition. Serving out his sentence in the Dallas County Jail, Jack Ruby’s thoughts returned to the nation’s widow, an important figure in his mind. Testifying before the Warren Commission in June of 1964, he claimed that on the morning of the 22nd, overcome with emotion and sympathy for the grieving Mrs. Kennedy, he took justice into his own hands and assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald. ‘Someone owed it to our beloved President that she shouldn't be expected to come back to face trial of this heinous crime.’ Sketched in his jail cell, most likely in the winter of ’64-65, based on Belli’s correspondence, this drawing offers an interesting glimpse into the mind of a killer, claiming to be motivated by the subject of his drawing.
