This original commissioned painting by female pin-up artist Ruth Deckard is titled “A Pin Cushion.” Features a cheeky brunette winsome pin up girl in a duck pin bowling alley “sit down strike” scene. This was a very popular and wildly produced calendar in the post-WWII pin up era, and we are happy to offer the original oil on canvas, a rare original surviving artifact from the era of “The Great American Pin-up.”
