Uncommonly early 8x10-inch sepia-tone portrait, boldly signed with her name alone in black fountain pen in the 1930s. In fine condition for its age, priced to reflect some gentle creasing throughout. Elegant leading lady Claudette Colbert won an Oscar for her performance, opposite Clark Gable, in It Happened One Night (1934), and was also memorable in Imitation of Life (1934), Cleopatra (1934), Private Worlds (1935), Drums Along the Mohawk (1939), The Palm Beach Story (1942), and Since You Went Away (1944).
