That’s A Deal as published by The Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company

A large format, tightly rendered preliminary charcoal and pastel pin-up illustration created for the Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company, the finished pastel was titled That’s A Deal. It is boldly signed and dated 1947, a fine offering by the prolific American pin-up artist Rolf Armstrong. The Stan to whom the piece is inscribed is likely fellow staff artist Stan Fenelle, a close friend of Armstrong’s. \
