John & Yoko: An Autographed Self-Caricature,

early 1970,
the couple drawn by John Lennon in black ballpoint on a large, plain piece of paper, signed by John and Yoko and also inscribed by John, To Doris peace + love,
13in x 8in (33cm x 20.5cm)

Footnotes

Provenance:
The vendor's father appears in the credits of the film Bed Peace, filmed in 1969, with post-production carried into early 1970. Unusually, John has depicted himself and Yoko in this drawing after they had famously had their hair shorn, which they then donated to Michael X on 4th February 1970 to raise funds for the activist's Black House. The 'Doris' to whom this was dedicated was a neighbour of the vendor's family and was a huge fan of John Lennon.

The film is available through the YouTube link:
