This original gouache and ink Al Buell published pin up was painted in 1957 for the Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company, and first appeared as the September 1961 image for a 12 page calendar titled Buell’s Beauties. The model appears at her aptly titled vanity with fresh flowers from an admirer, as two dreamy Buell’s beauties gaze down upon her. A colorful and lushly beautiful mid-century modernist published calendar painting. A fresh to the market find in pristine condition and handsomely framed behind glass, ready to enjoy. A published vintage calendar page of the painting is included with the sale.
