DescriptionHand-colored pencil drawing depicting Cinderella, identified by the crown on her head with her name on it sits on the left side of the print. She is an old woman with flowing white hair, wrinkled and rouged cheeks, and a pursed mouth. She glances up, either looking at something outside the image or rolling her eyes. She wears a pink dress with a polka dot neckline. In her proper left hand, she holds either an upside-down broom with bristles that have seen a lot of use or a torchiere with a yellow flame shooting off to the upper right. In the right half of the print, her handsome prince, now an old man, sits on a throne upholstered in purple velvet and turns away from her to look at a baseball game on television. He wears a black crown with KC in white, a white suit with black trim and black shoes. There is faint writing in the upper left corner. TLLW chop in the lower right corner. Provenance
