Moonlight and Roses 1963

"Moonlight and Roses," painted in 1963 by Gil Elvgren, is a classic example of the pin-up genre. The painting features a beautiful woman in a flowing white dress, posed in a romantic setting under a starry night sky. The composition is evocative of a dreamy, idealized vision of femininity and beauty. Elvgren's signature style, characterized by soft colors, meticulous detail, and a focus on the female form, is evident in this captivating work. The use of roses, a traditional symbol of love and beauty, reinforces the painting's romantic theme. This artwork is a delightful example of mid-century Americana and a popular subject for collectors of pin-up art.
