Condition
Signed, titled, and inscribed on reverse
Joyce Ballantyne (American, 1918-2006) Drawing Attention, circa 1950 Oil on canvas 30 x 24 inches (76.2 x 61.0 cm) Signed, titled, and inscribed on reverse Property from the Louis and Susan Meisel Collection Drawing Attention is a signature self-portrait by Joyce Ballantyne, who was one of the most significant female pin-up illustrators of the mid 20th century. A staff artist at Stevens Gross, she is considered part of the Sundblom School. In addition to occasionally sitting for other artists, Ballantyne frequently used herself as a model, often creating cheekily humorous works like this, which explicitly nod at their own creation. A black dog making trouble like the one seen here would reappear years later in Ballantyne's iconic Coppertone Girl ad. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
Unlined. Faint stretcher bar lines observed. Minor losses along extreme edges; craquelure observed throughout; undulations to canvas on left; UV examined no visible retouches observed. Framed Dimensions 31.5 X 25.5 Inches
