Presented here are two16 x 20 inch pieces of Mickey Mantle portraits by sports artist Leon Wolfe. The first piece includes a close, upper body painting of Mantle. Mantle can be seen in his legendary pinstriped New York Yankee uniform, a bat over his right shoulder, his hands clenched, and ready to swing. His face is a pink and rode colored as he stares through the viewer, his eyes never leaving the ball. Wolfe’s signature can be found on the bottom left corner, signed in black ink.
The Second piece features a full body Mantle, posed and ready for a picture. Mantle can be seen taking a knee, his arms, crossed over his chest, shielding his Yankee logo. His pinstriped uniform is a bright white, while his skin tone is a rose colored pink. Mantle’s face is that of joy, as he stares into the distance, his bat leaning under his arm. Wolfe’s signature can be found written in black ink in the lower right corner.
