Uncommonly early and truly lovely portrait, measuring about 9x11 with the borders trimmed away for framing purposes, boldly signed and inscribed in violet fountain pen in-person for noted autograph hound Kay Ingram in the early 1930s. In good condition, with minor surface creases. Five-time Oscar-nominated leading lady Irene Dunne was invariably charming and elegant in beloved films like Cimarron (1931), Thirteen Women (1932), Roberta (1935), Magnificent Obsession (1935), Show Boat (1936), Theodora Goes Wild (1936), The Awful Truth (1937), Love Affair (1939), My Favorite Wife (1950), Penny Serenade (1941), Anna and the King of Siam (1946), Life with Father (1947), and I Remember Mama (1948).
