Horton Smith Original Oil Painting Hung at Green Jacket Restaurant In Augusta
This one-of-a-kind artwork, showcasing the inaugural 1934 Masters champion Horton Smith in his green jacket glory, truly needs to be seen for its immense visual splender. For years it hung in Augusta, Georgia's Green Jacket Restaurant on Washington Avenue. This work can stand as a prized display in the most advanced of Masters collections with knowledge that it hung for so many years just accross the street from the hollowed entrance gate to the Augusta National. As an added highlight to this multi-faceted treasure the artist of this work is former All-Pro wide receiver and NFL Hall of Famer Tommy McDonald, with his signature applied to the lower right hand corner of his work. The original linen and gilt frame painting measures 10 3/8" x 13 3/8". McDonald portraits are very highly desired with a similar depiction of Joe DiMaggio selling for $4,000 in a 2006 May Hunt's Auction. This stunner remains in superb original NM condition.
