The artist's signature is Sotero. Haven't discovered anything about him/her, except that I did run across drawings of William Powell and Joan Crawford by the same artist. So, it was probably a promotional campaign of MGM's. Joan's is dated 1938. I so admire the ability to capture a likeness with so few strokes. The rather faint tuxedo collar and tie, Bob's furrowed brow ... nifty.
Ray Milland? Walter Pidgeon? Marlene Dietrich?
Okay. There are two photos of Bob in his "real" dress uniforms, and three in movie produced uniforms. I consider the pilot uniform to fall under the 'dress' uniform heading, it has a mink collar after all! So which would turn you on the most?
Hard to choose, isn't it!
Bob portraying sailor John Paul Jones in Shipmates (1931).
Bob as Lt. Henry Montgomery, Jr., USNR, on the way to Panama for further PT Boat training.
Such a gorgeous still ... the lighting, the mood, the subject.
The subject ... just beautiful. I just LOVE ROBERT MONTGOMERY!***
*** I was inspired by Debbie's comment about William Powell, two posts back. Didn't want Bob to feel underappreciated.
