Whoever won this got themselves quite a beauty:
I had the opportunity to work with a nice copy of it when I was doing my painting a few years back, and I just absolutely fell in love with the image.
That strong diagonal of the dugout step mixed with Ruth's gesture going in completely the other direction makes for such a dynamic shot. And all of the focus on Babe's outstretched hand, with the veins protruding from his forearm? That says it all.
Congrats to the winner, consignor and Henry!
