This does not appear to be a published painting but was likely a private commission. Hannes Bok, like Mahlon Blaine, had numerous patrons for whom he would paint pieces in exchange for living expenses, food and a roof over his head. With the benefit of history, it is clear that the life of a 1930s-40s pulp artist was not for one with champagne wishes or caviar dreams Painting is double matted and handsomely framed behind glass.
