Leyendecker, Joseph Christian

Price: $13,250.00

Description: Young football player

Comment: I’ve got lots of fans of Leyendecker and this is just the type of picture to which they are most likely to flock. A great study of how we look when reading; how our helmets sit on our heads, how we position our hands to hold something… and on and on. As usual, it’s the confidence of JCL’s approach that leaves us in awe.

Price: $13,250 (includes domestic shipping)
