Stately and striking, this original oil painting on canvas from esteemed artist Robert Stephen Simon features his signature use of chiaroscuro lighting and memorializes the most celebrated American sports figure ever - Babe Ruth.

It is signed "Robert Stephen Simon 1990" on the bottom right and includes a gold plaque on the bottom with the engraving: "Sultan of Swat by Robert Stephen Simon."
