Marilyn Monroe

A striking gelatin silver print by renowned photographer Bert Stern, this iconic image captures Marilyn Monroe in a moment of timeless elegance and vulnerability. Stern photographed Monroe in 1962 during what became known as "The Last Sitting," just weeks before her death, creating some of the most intimate and celebrated portraits of the legendary actress. Printed later and mounted, this work stands as both a testament to Monroe's enduring mystique and to Stern's masterful ability to reveal the complex humanity behind a global icon.
