“Hm-m, do I look like that?”

Churchill, Sir Winston (1874-1965). British Prime Minister. Churchill, the ultimate pillar of strength for his country throughout World War II, is wonderfully captured in this war-date, 8" x 10" Oscar Berger sketch. Berger relates the details of how this piece came to be signed as follows:

CHURCHILL CENTENARY
“Of all my air-raid sketches, the most appropriate is that of Winston Churchill, done in 1940, when Churchill’s leadership was a common symbol of hope. As the ancient Houses of Parliament shook under the bursting of bombs, I saw his heavy jowl fill with determination. Churchill never winced, but seemed to gather new strength as he spoke. Looking at my drawing critically (he was an artist, too) he said, “Hm-m, do I look like that?” and with a twinkle in his eye, he autographed it. - Oscar Berger”
