JOHN HELD, JR. "The same, in what is jokingly called Today." Watercolor, pen and ink on board. 370x271 mm; 14 1/2x10 3/4 inches (board). Signed in ink twice, once in lower image, again in top margin, and captioned in ink, lower margin. Nd, circa 1930s.
A charming and classic Held, Jr. cartoon. Set in an Art Deco bedroom, an impatient husband angrily points to his growing beard and glares at his stylist who is instead tending to his demanding wife, whose hair is hooked up to an elaborate perm machine.
