Original 1953 studio photograph of Marilyn Monroe from her famous "White Fur Photo Session" by noted photographer Frank Powolny. 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. Crystal clear and with exceptional quality, this is one of the few originals we have seen from this session. MGM copyright signaling this is absolutely a vintage example to 1953 and this is a known image from Powolny despite the lack of credit! Photo has some handling wear but overall it is a clean and beautiful specimen. One of the best images of Marilyn ever taken!
