Pop Art Print Appraisal

Framed Marilyn Monroe Pop Art Print

This item is a framed print or poster featuring a prominent headshot of Marilyn Monroe. The image itself appears to be a stylized or halftone photo, possibly a pop art reproduction, rendered in a limited color palette of off-white/light gray for Monroe's skin and hair, and vibrant red for her lips and a visible portion of a dress or top, set against a deep maroon or burgundy background. The texture of the print surface suggests a canvas-like material or a coarse halftone dot pattern, rather than a smooth photographic finish. Monroe is depicted with her signature blonde, voluminous hair, heavy eyeliner, and open, slightly parted red lips. The framing consists of a simple, flat black wooden or composite material frame, appearing to be in good, stable condition with minimal visible damage from the provided image. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, tears, or repairs to the print itself, though the muted tones and dot pattern might mask minor imperfections. The overall aesthetic points to a commemorative or decorative piece, likely produced from the mid-20th century onwards, capitalizing on Monroe's iconic status. The quality of craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced framed prints, designed for decorative rather than fine art purposes. The exact dimensions are not discernible, but it appears to be a medium to large-format piece, suitable for wall hanging.
