Tattooed Woman Holding a Rose (Not in Feldman & Schellmann)
This offset lithograph from circa 1955 exemplifies Warhol's early exploration of popular imagery and commercial printing techniques, depicting a tattooed woman with a rose in bold orange tones on delicate green tissue paper. The work's absence from the standard Feldman and Schellmann catalogue raisonné suggests it represents a lesser known or experimental piece from the artist's pre Pop Art period, when he was transitioning from commercial illustration to fine art practice. The considerable size of the framed work at 1000 x 540mm demonstrates Warhol's ambition in scale even during these formative years, establishing formal and thematic concerns he would develop throughout his career.
