Framed and hand-illustrated "Italian Stallion" robe logo concept artwork from the production of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky franchise. Stallone's Rocky Balboa wore robes bearing his boxing nickname, "The Italian Stallion," throughout the franchise before iconic fights against the likes of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), Clubber Lang (Mr. T), and Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Balboa's costumes, as well as Stallone's performance, were inspired by real-world boxer Rocky Marciano.

This unsigned and undated artwork depicting an ultimately unused logo for one of Balboa's robes is labeled "Rocky: The Italian Stallion" and rendered in mixed media on a printed cut-out of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell. The cut-out is applied to backing paper annotated with notes, such as "Extend bell bigger" and "Red Band," and mounted behind glass in a brown wooden frame. The paper exhibits edge tears, some creasing, and random scribbles throughout. Dimensions: (framed) 17" x 21" x 1.5" (43.25 cm x 53.5 cm x 4 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
