Holy smokes! Is it warm in here? This steamy shot speaks for itself and the subject needs no introduction, but we’ll still see if we can do it some justice. Our voluptuous vixen leans back onto the backdrop, looking straight into the camera, her eyes seducing, her visage ravishing. And those blonde locks tumble down like a rolling wave gracing the nape of her neck as a tide kisses the moonlit shore. The understated matte finish and vibrant lighting capture every contour of Marilyn’s posture, from the alluring cut along the bust line of her dress to the soft arching of her jaw line. Presented here is a true collectible gem in the form of this stunning 11” x 14” matte-finish photograph. Arguably one of the best images ever captured of Marilyn, the photo features an equally impressive blue ballpoint pen signature and inscription that reads: “To Joe / Love and Kisses / Marilyn Monroe.” There is some light rounding to the corners of the image and some trivial surface impressions, none of which detracts from the photo’s remarkably fine appearance. As provocative as this original photo appears in our catalog photo, we promise you that it’s even more so in person. This one will make you crazy each and every time you lay your eyes on it. Good God in Heaven – it’s time for a cold shower! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
