Vintage Pin Up Girl Print
This artwork is titled "The Toast of the Town" (or sometimes known by other names like "La jupe en l'air" or "A Frame Worth Picturing") and was created by the American artist Rolf Armstrong (1889–1960) around 1943. Armstrong is widely considered "the father of the calendar girl" and was renowned for his use of pastels to create glamorous, idealized images of women.
The specific model for this painting was the famous World War II-era pin-up model Jewel Flowers (1923-2006), who is depicted smiling while posing by an artist's easel. The original piece was a pastel on paper and was reproduced for various calendars and books.
