I am pleased to offer for sale a wonderfully executed original pastel by Rolf Armstrong that was used as a College Humor Magazine cover and also as a pair of Brown & Bigelow calendar prints titled originally Lets Go Places and later reissued and used as a cropped image titled Florence (with a photo mechanically altered black background by the printer circa 1937).

A skillfully executed and elaborately detailed (and large for the artist) pastel of a sassy, beret-wearing blonde and her Scottish terrier. Classic good girl imagery by the father of American Pin-up.

Above: Framed in fine gold gilt quality frame
Above: 1937 Calendar by Brown & Bigelow “Florence” with a cropped version of image .
