Marilyn Monroe Framed Portrait by Bernard of Hollywood

This item is a large-format, black and white photographic print featuring the iconic American actress Marilyn Monroe. The image depicts Monroe wearing a black lace off-the-shoulder garment, likely the famous photography session captured by Bruno Bernard (known professionally as Bernard of Hollywood). The print includes the stylized text 'MARILYN' and the signature-style credit 'Bernard of Hollywood' in the lower right-hand corner, which suggests this is a licensed posthumous tribute print or an exhibition poster rather than a vintage original gelatin silver print. The photograph is professionally matted with a thick off-white or cream-colored mat board and set within a minimalist black frame, likely made of wood or metal. The framing appears modern, utilizing plexiglass or standard glass. The subject shows Monroe with her signature platinum blonde curls and a soft, direct gaze. In terms of condition, there is a prominent horizontal reflection across the center of the glass in the provided image, but the print itself appears well-preserved within the frame. There are minor visible scuffs on the frame edges, consistent with light handling wear. The composition utilizes high-contrast lighting typical of 1950s glamour photography, emphasizing the texture of the lace and the luminosity of the subject's skin. This piece represents a mass-produced but high-quality decorative art item celebrating mid-century Hollywood legendry.
