A rare original Brown and Bigelow-commisioned pin up painting for their prestigious Sylvania Products account. Each year one of the calendar company’s star artists would create a wholesome yet alluring “Miss Sylvania” exclusively for Sylvania’s advertising campaign. This luminous original oil-on -canvas painting dates to the early 1950s and is featured on page 228 plate #545 in the collector’s book Gil Elvgren All His Glamourous American Pin-ups.
