"Fetish" Bettie Page Playboy August 2005 FINAL ** Olivia de Berardinis
A good shoe is a girl's best friend. Well, I can't argue. You can probably guess where this hangs...(but I took Bettie off the wall and put her in better light to share with you all). My photo doesn't do the art justice. The Stockings!! (Olivia, Huerta and Robert Blue seriously knew how to paint them! I wonder why I love them all so much!)
Mixed media on board. Has metallic paints in it. It has texture. She is so perfect. I stare...I will try and get a good close up.
She is big framed stands about 39" Olivia also designed the frame with her framer at the time. It is hand carved I believe.
In sight about 22 x 34
I am the second owner.
