Marjorie, pin-up model and more

This charcoal on paper sketch shows Marjorie Shuttleworth, one of Gil Elvgren’s favorite models in the 1960s in a gorgeous good girl portrait view. Along with modeling for some of Elvgren’s best pin-up paintings, Shuttleworth and Elvgren began a personal romantic relationship after the death of his wife Janet in 1966. Elvgren’s love for Shuttleworth is on full display in the personal inscription in the lower right.
