Stunning 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. The photo is dated on the front from 1958 (within our window for a Vintage 1 example) but it appears to be off a duplicate negative. One of the greatest images of Marilyn ever taken and one of the few vintage 1950's examples you will ever see.
