About the Artwork

This elegant pencil drawing presents a glamorous portrait of Marilyn Monroe, captured in a classic, mid‑century style. Resting her chin on her hand and gazing outward with quiet confidence, Marilyn is depicted with softly waved hair and refined features that immediately evoke the golden age of Hollywood.

Beside her sits a champagne bottle in an ornate ice bucket, accompanied by a coupe glass, reinforcing the sense of celebration, luxury and timeless sophistication. The monochrome pencil work gives the piece a refined, vintage feel, allowing the artist’s line, shading and attention to detail to take centre stage without distraction.

At approximately 32cm × 28cm (around 55cm × 50cm framed), the drawing has an intimate scale that suits bedrooms, dressing rooms, home bars and curated gallery walls. The dark blue mount and ornate gold‑toned frame complement the subject beautifully, adding a sense of occasion and giving the artwork a finished, ready‑to‑hang presence.

Although the artist’s signature is present but indistinct, the quality of the drawing and the strength of the subject make this a highly decorative and desirable piece for admirers of Marilyn Monroe, vintage glamour and classic black‑and‑white portraiture.
