Original SCARLETT O'HARA 'Gone With The Wind ' Viven Leigh deals Movie Star Amateur Portrait PAINTING Framed
Here is an original amateur portrait painting of Hollywood actress Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. Who can forget this scene when Scarlett comes to the dance dressed like a total vamp. In the scene where Scarlett O'Hara goes to Ashley Wilkes' birthday alone, Vivien Leigh wears a scarlet velvet dress embroidered with glass beads. Rather than an outfit with a corset and maxi petticoats, the cut of her dress is a close-body fit, a sensual and polar-opposite piece in comparison to what the other women in the room are wearing. With her plunging sweetheart neckline and burgundy ostrich feathers, Scarlett O'Hara steals the show. Set in the 1870s, this scene takes place during what is known as the Golden Age of America, or the Gilded Age. During this time, women's fashion begins to move away from ruffles, large hoop skirts, and light fabrics to form-fitting designs made of rich materials like velvet. During this era, the female dress code is governed by strict rules that Scarlett breaks when she arrives dressed in her incredible yet daring dress in the midst of a family celebration. Forced by Rhett Butler to go, the character played by Clark Gable deliberately chooses a scandalous outfit for her. Scarlett O'Hara holds her head up high despite the reaction of others." This painting is framed in a wood frame painted gold. The entire piece measures 10 1/4 x 12 1/8 in. Painting only measures 8 x 10 in. It is signed by Glenda Bell and on the back tilted and signed. The frame has some wear to the paint and scarpes on the side edges but still looks fine with the art.
