Detail

This sexy oil-on-canvas pin-up painting by Walt Otto was created for and published in a 1961 12-page spiral bound pin-up calendar. The image shows a flirty blonde with dangerous curves seductively caught “sitting pretty,” with classic mid-century style. Though this is unsigned, it is guaranteed to be a published example by Walt Otto. We were able to find an example of this image as it appeared published in a 1961 Walt Otto calendar, though the scan was too small to include in the listing here. Painting is in a fine state of conservation with original stretchers. Currently unframed.
