A spectacular original gouache on heavy artist’s board of the great Navy quarterback. Exceptional quality and stunning football background, commissioned in 1950 for a proposed TIME cover. Zug scored a 14-2 triumph over Army in 1950, one of the Army-Navy game’s biggest upsets. The piece itself is 12.5" x 13.75” and archivally matted to 17.5" x 19.5” overall. Verso reads, "Probable Oct 23 Cover."
