A delightful and never before offered on the market large and sensational Brown & Bigelow commissioned pastel illustration by Rolf Armstrong, featuring a sassy and sexy stylized southwestern attired cowgirl in traditional charro hat, riding pants and and tassled boots. From the zenith of Armstrong’s harnessed talents and long tenure as “The Father of American Pin-up”. A large 1944 Brown & Bigelow Advertising Calendar of image titled “Hi, Neighbor” is included in sale. Among the finest Armstrong works we have ever owned. The model was Mimi Simpson, this had been in a private collection for 30 years until we purchased it last year.
