Provenance and Authentication:
According to the Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided by the consignor, this collectible was subjected to a forensic examination. The accompanying documentation states that the signatures were evaluated with reference to multiple characteristics, including ink deposition, material and aging characteristics, stylistic consistency, and historical context. Based on the examination described in these documents, the authentication provider concluded that the findings were consistent with the attributed signatures. The LOA and COA provided by the consignor accompany the lot.

A signed figural drawing on paper, executed primarily in ink with restrained touches of color and presented in a decorative wood frame.

The composition depicts a whimsical, angular figure walking across a single horizontal ground line while carrying an artist's palette and a red flag. Extending from the figure's hand is a thin line that visually connects with the handwritten word "STEINBERG," transforming the signature-like inscription into an active element of the composition.

The drawing reflects the witty economy closely associated with Saul Steinberg's graphic vocabulary. A minimum of lines establishes character, movement, and narrative, while the exaggerated profile and deliberately simplified anatomy create an immediate sense of humor. Subtle red and multicolored accents provide contrast against the otherwise restrained linear composition.

The work is presented beneath a broad neutral mat in a substantial dark wood frame, giving the compact drawing a strong and balanced presentation.
