Certainly only the greatest passing day of all time in the Super Bowl history could be the subject for this amazing LeRoy Neiman painting. Riding on the superlative performance of Phil Simms in Super Bowl XXI, Nieman captures Simms tossing one of this 22 completed passes over an avalanche of bodies, all the while grappling with a would be leg tackler. Simms ended the day 22/25 for 268 yards and three touchdowns, and was named MVP. This is one very large item! The print itself measures an amazing 30 x 39 inches, matted and framed beautifully to a dimension of 42.5 x 52 inches. This print was limited to 375 copies, and the lower left corner has a pencil notation of “H.C. 278/375.” The lower right corner has the large pencil signature “LeRoy Neiman. “ Only Neiman, one of the greatest sports artists of all time, with his unique style could perfectly capture Simms’ almost perfect day on the field.
