Description from the seller
Alberto Vargas: "Diana as a Huntress, 1929".
Authorized color offset, produced in gloss with high color intensity.
Condition: the work is in good condition and was issued around 1991.
Copyright: Vargas, a California proprietorship.
This artwork is an image of "Diana as Huntress" by Alberto Vargas, who is known for his iconic 'pin-up' illustrations.
The goddess Diana depicted as a hunter, accompanied by two large dogs.
“The Vargas Girl” style is characterized by a detailed rendering of the human body and soft lighting.
The work was originally created around 1929 as a watercolor on board.
The dancer Caja Eric (famous from the Ziegfeld Follies) modeled for this. This is one of Vargas' largest original artworks.
Publication in Esquire (March 1941). To meet a tight deadline, Vargas reused this image for Esquire magazine in 1941. Because a fully nude portrait was not permitted in the magazine at that time, an acrylic overlay was temporarily painted over it that provided her with a green outfit.
Never framed and has been kept in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
The shown photos are part of the description.
