Durante was of course the great comedian and singer. Milton Greene is best known for his important and popular portraits of Marilyn Monroe.

This is an interesting portrait of Durante; he is distinctly recognizable with his back turned. Greene has also chosen to include the lighting apparatus as a significant part of the photograph.

There is a slight bump that one can see at a raking angle. Includes a Christie's auction stamp on verso
