The smiling faces only highlight the intensity of the players portrayed in this beautiful, original oil on canvas, measuring 32x46". Depicted are members of the 1958 World Champion Baltimore Colts defensive line: Ordell Braase, Gene Lipscomb, Art Donovan, Don Joyce and Gino Marchetti. The background scoreboard has "Chicago" and "Baltimore," the teams having met twice during that season, with Baltimore winning both. The Colts would go on to participate in the "Greatest Game Ever Played," a 23-17 overtime victory over the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium. The piece is signed by artist Bill Rudrow on bottom right.
