Dali Draws Harpo

Surrealist Salvador Dali made a pencil drawing of comedian Harpo Marx in February of 1937. Harpo did not get to keep the art, but he was rewarded with a signed print inscribed by the artist. The original is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Harpo's print, though, is available from Schubertiade Music.

If you would rather pay less, get yourself a reliable time machine and go back to the Bonhams auction of November 25, 2013, where it sold for $4,000 including the premium.
