Description

Alex Raymond original preliminary study for �Look�s All-Service Girl� for December 1, 1942. The original is listed on page 176 of Tom Roberts' excellent book ALEX RAYMOND: HIS LIFE AND ART with an image area of 12 �� x 21 5/8�. The finished painting as published is included as an "additional image".

On the margin of the drawing is a notation (also in pencil), with the name Ruth Reed - 4 1/2 hours @ $5/hour. Ruth Reed was the model for this Cheerleader. She had posed for Raymond on multiple occasions and during the creation of this piece she posed for 4 1/2 hours at a rate of $5/hour.

I have admired this piece of artwork since it was first reproduced as available for sale from Russ Cochran in his fabulous original art catalog, GRAPHIC GALLERY #10 in 1977. The vellum on which the drawing is based itself is 18 3/4� x 23 5/8�. On the directly opposite page of Russ' catalog is the seemingly matching preliminary entitled "The Catch." THAT original has been in my collection since July 1996.

Received from George Hagenauer in July 2015.
