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.
