Original Signed General Washington Pencil Sketch by Rosenthal

1898, "Pencil Sketch of General Washington," Signed Etching by Albert Rosenthal, Choice Extremely Fine.
This artwork measures 6.5" x 4.5" uncolored image, printed on 16" x 12" sheet. Signed in pencil by Rosenthal below the print, this sketch was "from life taken by Chas. Willson Peale 1787." (The third "7" in "1777" is lined out and replaced below by "1787" in full). According to the imprint below the print, the original pencil sketch is in the possession of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. A very generous rendering of Washington, who probably didn't look this youthful in 1787. Very light age toning.
