Marilyn Monroe Lanvin Arpege Ad Advertisement Original Artwork Hand Painted Art

Description

This item came from a storage unit so, unfortunately, I don't have any provenance to accompany it. It appears to be an unreleased original ad of Marilyn Monroe for Lanvin perfume. I was not able to find any examples of this ad or any indication that Marilyn Monroe was the face of Arpege at any time. I cannot find any signatures or indicators as to who may have created this piece, but it does appear to be professionally done.  I cannot say with certainty but it appears to be pastel and oil on heavy paper that is glued to a board backing. It has dirt and wear from display and storage including chips along the corners, a particularly noticeable spot on her shoulder and a good deal of white paint loss around the perfume bottle. The paper has a bit of wavyness to it and is partially lifting off of the board backing. The paper measures 12.75"×16.5" overall and the sight area measures 11"×14.5". This listing is for the item pictured and does not include anything additional not shown in the pictures. This item is sold as is so please review the pictures above and feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
