As if it wasn't enough to simply have the Bambino rendered so beautifully by the one-and-only Stephen Holland, this unique example just so happens to be signed by Ruth's last surviving daughter Julia Ruth Stevens, who died in 2019 at age 102. The embellished canvas giclee measures 27x41 (same size as a one-sheet movie poster) and features the gold-Sharpie "10" signatures of both Stevens and Holland, with the limited-edition number "IX/XXV" (#9/25). Julia was adopted by Ruth at age 12 after he married her mother Claire Hodgson in 1929, and she remained the greatest ambassador for his legacy throughout her lifetime. Auction LOA from JSA.
