Accompanied by an Al Hirschfeld lithograph of Stephen Sondheim, 17.5 x 22.5 in., unframed, blind stamped with a caricature of Hirschfeld holding his signature on the lower right-hand corner and blind stamped "The Margo Feiden Galleries Ltd." in the lower left-hand corner, depicting composer Stephen Sondheim smoking a cigarette while composing a song, inscribed, "To Bob– / Who knows almost as / much about movies / as I do– / Steve / 2/23/07."
