Important and completely original 1953 studio photograph of Marilyn Monroe from her famous "White Fur Photo Session" by noted photographer Frank Powolny. A spectacular clear and sexy image of the greatest and most well known actresses of all time. One of the most important photo sessions Marilyn ever did, this is a classic example simulating that she is nude with the exception of her pearl necklace and fur. Photo has exceptional quality and this is one of the few originals we have seen from this session. Several stamps and newspaper articles are affixed over the original MGM copyright signaling this is absolutely a vintage example to 1953! Photo has some handling wear and some creasing to the borders but overall the condition is acceptable for the age. One of the most breathtaking Marilyn Monroe images we have seen!
