Charmingly Naive Pin Up Style Pastel Nude on Black Ground colorful boxes I purchased this piece atToo fun to resist, and looks to me like a very earnest, hard trying effort to render a sexy, pin up style nude, maybe based on a dirty playing card! Rendered in pastels or cray pas I believe, with the black ground entirely drawn in (in black pastel charcoal) a lot of effort! I have to think she delivered a lot of pleasure! 12" x 8 7 8". C. mid 20th century I believe, very good condition.
