The BROWN DERBY Restaurant of Hollywood Wall Caricature of Alexandra Kroporking I got the spelling of her name off her signature and it is probably very incorrect. This one of Alexandra Kroporking measures 8 & 3/8 inches by 11 & 1/8 inch (outside edge of the frame). It reads "To Bob Cobb, As I look before I've eaten at the Brown Derby-- Alexandra Kroporking." It was drawn by "Pancho" 41. Additionally the paper has a sticker in the top left that reads "The BROWN DERBY HOLLYWOOD, KHITTL-SCHARFE ART COLLECTION, Copywrite 1987." I haven't been able to find out any information on this lady. I'm baseing the spelling of her name off her signature. This condition of the picture is very good. I had 23 of these pictures which allowed me to track down the location w they were hung. 22 of the 23 had their frames painted burgundy. I talked to several collectors who insisted that because most of these had a Scharfe Art tag added that they were never hung in a Brown Derby. However, one of the pictures I had was of Ed Lewis and it was THE original drawing. I found Ed Lewis and talked to him. He said that his picture was hung at the re-opened Brown Derby Restaurant at Hollywood and Vine and he saw it t several times. The restaurant closed in late 1990 or early 1991. This one hung t too.
