One of the most famous portrait photographers in the world, Yousuf Karsh gained worldwide recognition for his portrait of Winston Churchill in 1941. Many of his portraits hang in famous galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Portrait Gallery of London. This 20" x 24" black and white portrait of Muhammad Ali is encased in a 26" x 30" glass frame. The champ is pictured in a suit sitting with his hands on his hips with just a slight hint of a smirk. Karsh original photos are a very highly desirable item especially since his death last year in 2002.
