Vintage Pin-up Calendar Print by Alberto Vargas

This is a vintage offset lithographic print featuring a classic pin-up illustration by the renowned artist Alberto Vargas (Vargas). The artwork depicts a stylized young woman in an idealized Mid-Century aesthetic, seated in a side profile while looking back at the viewer. She is wearing a vibrant yellow one-piece halter swimsuit, coordinating yellow and red sandals, and an oversized floppy sun hat with a contrasting red interior and striped band. The background is characterized by a minimalist, painterly approach with broad strokes of sky blue and cream tones, creating a focus on the central figure. The print is executed on a medium-weight paper stock, likely intended for a calendar or magazine insert, common in the 1940s and 1950s. Notably, the artist's signature 'Varga' is printed in the upper quadrant of the artwork, and a smaller copyright or printing mark is visible in the bottom-left corner. The condition appears fair to good for its age; there is visible curling at the edges, minor corner wear, and subtle surface undulations, though colors remain saturated. The draftsmanship displays the high level of airbrushed smooth gradients and anatomical stylization that defined the 'Varga Girl' era.
