Unusual and moving original signed photograph of the Romanian-born violinist and composer, shown in a tender pose with his cat at his villa in Sinaia, Romania. Almost certainly a unique candid image, warmly signed and inscribed on the verso in 1946 to the mother of his former student, Antares Parvulescu.  Tiny tear to upper left edge, small chip at bottom, else fine. 2.75 x 3.45 inches; 6.8 x 8.5 cm.
