Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923 -1997) "Girl in Window" (Study for World's Fair Mural) - (1963)
Done in the contemporary Pop Art style of Modern Artist Lichtenstein, this work of art is a hand drawn mixed media (pastel and gouache) on paper, with the artist's name hand signed at the bottom. The image depicts a laughing young woman, brown hair swept up in a gust of wind that tousles the white curtains in the window as she leans through it. Her hands are uplifted and her eyes closed in this sweet moment of forgotten cares. Unframed piece measures approximately 8.25" x 11.75" and ships free in the USA.
