The present masterpiece is a one-of-a-kind work that embodies the quintessential archetype of a glamorous woman typical of the 50s.
With a simple palette of red and flesh colors, artist Coby Whitmore defines the noir portrait. Be cautious, the seductive Femme Fatale Kim Novak look-alike illustration in red is intoxicating to view. In the same way that "Rosie the Riveter" summed up the WWII years, this portrait may be one of the most iconic works in mid-century post-WWII illustration.
Work is simply framed.
Coby Whitmore, American, 1913–1988
