Original Drawing Signed "Enrico Caruso / 1907", in black crayon. 1 page, folio [ca. 14" x 8 3/8"]. Identified by Caruso as "A. Nathan." A full-length profile of a man dressed in formal attire leaning forward in a stiff pose, furrowed brows with his hands in his pockets, smoking through a cigarette holder. Age-toned with minor soiling, mounting traces on verso, otherwise in good condition.
Italian operatic tenor; made his first appearance in Faust in 1895, the extraordinary power and musical purity of his voice, combined with his acting ability, won him recognition as one of the greatest tenors of all time. Caruso was loved by his operatic associates in a manner and to a degree almost unique in the annals of the lyric theater. In 1907, Caruso performed Aida in Budapest and Vienna. Over the summer of that year, he sang for King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra at Buckingham Palace.
