  Painting of an elegant woman.
  Oil on Panel. Signed lower right.
  From the Frank and Nancy Sinatra collection. This painting can be seen hanging in the living room in archival photos taken in the late 1940s/early 50s in Frank & Nancy Sinatra’s Holmby Hills estate at 320 N. Carolwood Dr.

  - From the Estate of Mrs. Nancy Sinatra

  Sight Size: 12.5 x 14 in.
  Overall Framed Size: 22.5 x 23.75 x 3.25 in.
  
  The painting is also seen in the background of personal family snapshots including a photo from 1967 that shows the painting behind Frank Sr. and Frank Jr. on the wall of Mrs. Sinatra?s Bel-Air home on Nimes Road. A third photograph depicts Mrs. Sinatra seated on her sofa with her Yorkshire terrier, the Gluckmann hanging behind her.
  
  It is very likely that Frank and Nancy Sinatra acquired this painting from Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. Gluckmann came to Los Angeles for his first exhibition at Dalzell Hatfield Galleries in December 1941. He had a second exhibition there in 1944, and he moved his residence to Los Angeles in 1945.
  
  He continued to have regular, very successful exhibitions at Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, so much so that the gallery published numerous exhibition catalogues and books of the artist's work. Frank and Nancy Sinatra acquired a number of works from Dalzell Hatfield Galleries during the 1940s.
