The Champion
c. 1935

A vintage etching or drawing depicting three men on a baseball field. The central figure is a batter in mid-swing, wearing traditional baseball attire, including a cap, while a catcher and an umpire stand in the background. The scene is rendered with expressive lines and shading, conveying a sense of movement and the atmosphere of a bygone era of the sport. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower corners.
