Blind
Tom.

1/2 x 17-3/4 inches; several archival

NewYork: OttoVenino,
1875
[2,000/3,000]
A nearly life-sized portrait of the noted
musical savant. The artist, Otto Venino, was
well-known in NewYork and internationally.
We were able to tentatively date this portrait
based on the artist’s date of death and his last
known address at Broadway and Astor Place
in NewYork City.
