William Medcalf, the top tier pin-up artist and illustrator created this engaging bathing beauty pin-up as a preliminary artwork for the storied Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The image shows a pretty redheaded pin-up in a revealing blue one piece bathing suit writing her amorous feelings for a summertime fling in the sand. Colorful and well-realized, this is signed Medcalf – Sketch lower right. Painting is nicely framed and ready to enjoy.
