$155
Vintage 1955 Glamour Oil Painting Art – Arlene Dahl Pin-Up Portrait, Signed Grandchamp (16x20 Framed)
Capture a stunning piece of 1950s Hollywood glamour and Americana!
Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic mid-century oil painting on canvas board, dated December 1955. This gorgeous portrait is a hand-painted master copy of the iconic July 7, 1952, LIFE Magazine cover featuring the legendary Hollywood actress and pin-up star Arlene Dahl. It perfectly captures her famous pose resting against a tufted headboard, holding a single pink rose.
During the mid-20th century, it was a popular tradition for talented regional artists to use striking magazine covers to practice their fine art skills. This piece is a stellar, professionally framed example of that era's pop-culture history.
Item Highlights:
• Artist & Signature: Hand-signed in the lower right corner with a stylized monogram and the surname "Grandchamp".
• Date: Clearly dated 12-55, giving it verified 70-year-old vintage status.
• Medium: Oil paint on textured canvas board (standard mid-century art construction).
• Frame: Housed in its original 1950s rustic, whitewashed/pickled wood frame. It comes ready to hang with its original vintage wire assembly.
Dimensions:
• Frame Size: 20" x 16" inches
• Painting Surface Size: Approx. 16" x 12" inches
Condition Report:
Good vintage condition! The painted surface remains bright, vibrant, and highly detailed. The original frame is structurally sound with light handling marks appropriate for its age. The reverse hardboard panel shows typical vintage aging and localized water staining/foxing along the very bottom edge from decades of historical storage (does not affect the front artwork at all). Please review all photos closely to appreciate its excellent vintage character
