Art Deco pin-up


I bought this art deco print from ebay. It is by Alberto Vargas, who was one of the most famous pin up artists. In the 1940s he created a series of WW2 pin-ups for Esquire magazine. I think this print is a page from one of these issues as it is backed with newspaper from 1941.
The subject of the picture is believed to be Vargas’s wife Anna Mae Clift, it is called "Sheer Elegance".
