The 1932 painting of Amelia Earhart by artist Howard Chandler Christy is not only one of his finest works, but one of the finest portraits done of Earhart in her life. Here we have an incredible piece of art history as Christy is about halfway through with his now famous masterpiece, shown with his model, Miss Earhart herself in his studio! This is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen, issued by Wide World Photos and in great shape with a paper caption on the back as well. A work of art, depicting the making of a work of art!
