Alberto Vargas (Peruvian/American, 1896-1982) Winking Blonde, Esquire study, December 1945 Mixed media on paper 20-1/2 x 28-1/2 inches (52.1 x 72.4 cm) (sight) Not signed Property from the Louis and Susan Meisel Collection This large and beautiful work was created during the sessions Vargas held while working on the gatefold for Esquire magazine’s December 1945 issue.
