Lot 1820: Outstanding Michael Joseph "Marilyn Monroe" Original Oil Painting

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $400.00
Winning Bid: $393.31
Price Realized: $470.00
Auction Date:12/15/2006 9:00 PM EST

UPDATE: The third signature is on a “Society” Magazine Cover and not cover of “Society” brochure as stated in the printed catalog.
Artist Michael Joseph is a sports enthusiast, and his love of the game inspired him to wield brush to canvas, and this gorgeous, atmospheric, and classically realistic portrait of American icon Marilyn Monroe carries his signature “raw realism,” while dripping with that trademark seduction only Monroe could project. The original oil painting is titled “Timeless Beauty,” and measures 30x24" in an elegant dark brown frame. Three signatures (average 9/10) accompany this work of art: one at bottom left on portrait, another on back of its canvas, and a third on a “Society” Magazine Cover (included).
