Candid half-length color shot of the Russian-born Icelandic pianist and conductor casually dressed and hugged by the English orchestra manager John Charles, apparently in a green room. Signed in Cyrillic; inscription in English, "To John every good wish." Oblong format, 4 x 5.75 inches (10.2 x 14.9 cm). Remnants of mounting to verso; else in fine condition. The photo is undated, but it shows a mid-aged Ashkenazy with gray hair, ca. 1980s. From the collection of English orchestra manager John Charles.
