Description

It's a decent sized charcoal sketch by Elvgren. Perhaps one day, I will be lucky enough to get a finished painting, but until then - this is more than enough to scratch that itch.

See additional images. I am unsure if the art I have here is one of the prelims for the painting shown or if it's for another painting. Also attached is a 2nd prelim. Both from. heritage...however there was no exact info to go on. Compare them for yourself and see what's the same and what is different.

Thanks for checking this out!

Elvgren's charcoal prelims are gorgeous, this one included, and actually offer far more value for the dollar than his finished pinup paintings. Very nice!
