Seductive Platinum Blond Hair and Blue Eyed Pin Up in Turquoise Hat

Creator: Alberto Vargas - Playboy Magazine
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Study of a sultry and seductive reclining platinum blond Pin Up with a wide-brimmed sun hat. Most likely done for Playboy. This work is very finely rendered and looks better the closer you view it. It was executed on tracing paper, with mild handling buckling and minor creases and with toning throughout. It looks different under different lighting situations. The color of the work will slightly change with different lighting situations. With a frontal light, it looks quite normal and flat. The buckling is most noticeable with side light or what they call in the industry "raking light ". Work is unframed. Estate stamp lower right. 20 x 26 inches sheet. Based on the bathing suit style, I would put this in the 1950s time frame.
