Description :

This original hand-drawn pastel portrait beautifully captures a stylish woman from the late 1950s. She is depicted with short dark hair, wearing a scalloped sleeveless black top and a single strand of pearls, exuding classic mid-century elegance.

Signed by Gentry, this piece originates from Gentry Galleries, LTD, Martinique Penthouse, New York—a studio known for its commissioned pastel portraits.  Read more from Reddit post with comment from son of the owner of Gentry Galleries.

As part of an incentive program, salesmen would submit photographs, which skilled artists at Gentry Galleries would transform into framed pastel renditions. While the artist cannot be confirmed to be "Gentry", the craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic of this portrait make it a striking addition to any art collection.
