In the early 1970s, David Doxey bought a framed picture atMeijer in Lansing, and it hung on a wall in his home for years. But when itfell down and the frame broke, a mystery began. Behind the purchased artworkwas a caricature of an elegant lady, sporting golden earrings and a substantialdiamond ring. Doxey likes the drawing very much, but he’s curious to know who thesubject is.
An artist’s signature in the lower left-hand cornerindicates the sketch was drawn by “Kohl,” or possibly “Koll.” It’s dated 1964,and it has the style of an editorial cartoon or a comical advertisement. Couldthis be a local celebrity of the day, or a socialite who was being spoofed? Ifyou have any information on the drawing or the artist, Doxey would love to knowabout it. So would we!
