A sympathetic black and white portrait of Marilyn Monroe A fine and sympathetic portrait of Marilyn. Here Harry Walton shows the true nature of the person and displays her as a woman rather than a tragic figure. The shadows create a wonderful feeling and accentuate her beauty. We are shown a very sensual figure, but also one of many fantasies. Harry was very taken with her as a character and painted her portrait several times in the early 1960's.
