Lovely original ink drawing of the two composers and partners, with another unidentified man. Signed and dated: Manfred Ibel, 1960. Ibel was a German art student and the flutist for whom Barber wrote the Elegy for Flute and Piano (1959). He became a travel companion and close friend to the composer, and was later the dedicatee of Barber's Piano Concerto. Upper edge rough, some very slight creases; overall in fine condition. 14 x 11 inches (35.3 x 27.3 cm).
