Original artwork description:

This exquisite A5 drawing reveals a side of Marilyn Monroe rarely seen by the public: not the Hollywood star, but the intelligent, well-mannered, and educated woman she truly was. Captured in a moment of repose at a formal gathering, seated gracefully in an armchair, she exudes a quiet dignity and sharp intellect.

The artwork is executed in a sophisticated mixed media technique. The base is rendered with rich, water-soluble black pencils (Viarco), creating deep, velvety shadows. This is elevated with luminous accents of Sennelier gold ink and highlights of white acrylic gouache, which add a tactile, opulent quality to the piece. The result is an intimate and elegant portrait that challenges the iconic image and invites the viewer to discover the real woman behind the legend.

Technique: Mixed media (Viarco water-soluble black pencils, Sennelier gold ink, white acrylic gouache) on high-quality paper.

Size: A5 (14.8 x 21 cm / 5.8 x 8.3 inches).

Paper: Premium drawing paper.

Details: A unique and insightful portrait that moves beyond the icon. Signed by the artist.

Materials used:

Sennelier inK, Viarco pencil, white
