This is an original pencil drawing portrait by Steve Teasdale of Randolph Churchill, son of Winston Churchill. The portrait has been created on sepia recycled card and features the very rare genuine pencil signature of Randolph Churchill mounted underneath. The signature was taken from a pre-war autograph book of members of parliament.
