Description

Jean Harlow - Hurrell Studio Portrait (MGM, 1936). Still (16" X 20"). During the 1930s, Jean Harlow was one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars, and George Hurrell, whose Sunset Boulevard Studio was the place for Hollywood royalty to have the very finest portraits done, was one of its leading photographers. It's little wonder, then, that when these legends met, the result was a true masterpiece. Presented here is a luminous print of Harlow from 1934 that was offered in a very limited edition of Hurrell's work as part of the photographer's Portfolio I printed in 1979 and signed personally by Hurrell. Limited to a mere 250 copies, this is numbered 99/250, and is boldly signed in black ink by the artist in the lower right. Since Hurrell's passing, copies of these prints have been stamped signed and sold as originals. Make no mistake, this is the real thing! In immaculate condition, this is a rare opportunity for any devotee of glamour photography. Mint.
