Sold from the showcase The Way We Were: Icons of the 60s, is the Debra Thompson striking composition, Marilyn. Bought by a collector who will be returning to 'The Mount' with this new acquisition.

A luminous reimagining of an enduring icon, this mixed media portrait draws inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s celebrated 1954 “Ballerina Series” photographed by Milton H. Greene. Set against a richly floral backdrop, Monroe’s unmistakable beauty is softened with romantic femininity while layered textures, gold leaf detailing, and hand-applied diamanté earrings bring a contemporary glamour to the work. Finished in resin, the painting captures both the fragility and brilliance of Hollywood’s most enduring star.
