Gone With the Wind ASHLEY (LESLIE HOWARD) AUTOGRAPHCOA Pastel Painting
In a sense, he is the character best personifying the tragedy of the Southern high class after the Civil War. Coming from a privileged background, Ashley is an honorable and educated man. He is in clear contrast to Rhett Butler, who is decisive and full of life, but is vulgar and distasteful as well. Rhett is both ruthless and practical, and is willing to do whatever he must to survive, whereas Ashley is often impractical (even Melanie admits this on her deathbed), and would resist doing many things Rhett would consider doing, because they aren’t “proper” or “gentlemanly”. Ashley fights in the Civil War even though he isn’t any kind of Confederate W arhawk and wishes that the Yankees would simply let them leave the Union in peace. As a soldier he shows enough leadership to be promoted to the rank of Major, and survives being imprisoned at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois (a notorious prisoner-of-war camp) for several months. Ashley could have lived a peaceful and respectable life had the War never taken place. The War that changed the South forever has turned his world upside down, with everything he had believed in’gone with the wind’. For sale today, is a one-of-a-kind, pastel painting that I had commissioned from a well known artist out of California. There is no way that my photos come anywhere close to capturing the beauty of this painting. Also, Leslie Howard’s (Ashley Wilkes) autograph cut, has been mounted below the painting. The original painting was 8″ X 10″ but with the double matting, and framed was added, the painting ends up being 7 3/4″ X 9″. The frame is just beautiful, too. It measures 19″ long x 16 1/2″ wide. The painting and cut autograph has been customed framed, using double matting and wooden frame. The glass used for the frame is called museum glass. It makes the colors just jump out, when you look at the painting. 1 I might add that the autograph comes with a COA from the owner who is a member of UACC THE MANUSCRIPT SOCIETY IADA and ANA. So be assured that this is the real deal. The hardware is already installed. All it needs now is a wall to hang on. Any spots or streaks that appear in my photos are not on the painting, but are a result of a amateur photo person(ME). Thanks for your time and please visit my store again, soon!
