A unique interpretation of one of the best captured moments in sports history, Frank Stapleton signed this stunning painting with pride for his artwork, and Muhammad Ali signed with pride for the event and his achievement. Through the artist's imagination and the addition of color, this is a great addition to the award-winning photograph by Sports Illustrated Magazine photographer Neil Leifer. The painting captures the strength and intensity of Muhammad Ali towering over his vanquished opponent Sonny Liston after their second fight. The full color brings the humanity and his eye for detail shows the crowds and those famous photographers in the front. The format is oil painting on home plate manufactured by Rawlings. This is quite a unique format but fitting for a series of paintings of memorable moments in sports history. The autograph by Muhammad Ali is Excellent or better. The painting is dated 1996, comes with an LOA from JSA for the Ali autograph and measures 19x19". Condition is EX-MT overall.
