Found this today. It's a blonde nude done on red velvet. I could live without the French provincial frame, but I love the painting.
Couldn't seem to catch it in the right lighting, either came out to dark or to brite..
I think the frame is very 007ish/ Secret Agent/ Bachelor Paddish. I dig it. Great find!
Here's Mine! I inherited it from Dad. He got it in 1970 and it got lost into a closet after he marries the trophy wife. It re-emerged and here it is. Another is also here and I'm searching for an original somewhere.
Those paintings are based on a photo by Harrison Marks of Vicky Kennedy / Margaret Nolan.
Speaking of James Bond she was the credits model for Goldfinger and in the movie as well. According to a website photos from that "Four Poster" bed set appeared in Kamera No.66 1965.
Since the only scan of the image the paintings were based on I found online came from playing cards it is probably where the artists got the image as well.
I uploaded a huge scan of a different card with the same image to my site in addition to others from the set.

These were found on a website Margaret Nolan - Vintage Erotica Forums. (I'm sparing the reader from a great many porn ads by not linking it - but its an easy web search)
The film is actually a horror spoof featuring a countess checking into a hotel
run by a hunchback. (Fairly easily found streaming online i just watched it on xhamster, not linked for same reason - a downloadable version is also on the above forum's last post page for the truly interested Goldfinger enthusiast.)
