Description
Charcoal portrait of Jesse James dressed in suit coat, shirt, and cravat. The drawing is signed by the artist. Below the signature is "Jesse James" written in different handwriting and black ink. It also has "(over)" to indicate a newspaper article attached to the back. There's no date for the article from the St. Joseph News-Press but probably is 1938 or 1939. Stacey may have used the picture in the article for this drawing. Most of the article is missing but is about the movie released in 1939 with Tyrone Power as Jesse James.

The portrait was separated from the original mat board. It is believed that most if not all of Anna Stacey drawings were made from photographs. The MVO (Missouri Valley Oversize) is composed of various types of art work including paintings, sculpture, drawings and sketches, large-size photographs, posters, and other miscellaneous items.
