Limited Edition Collector’s Print
Marilyn Monroe Red Velvet Pose #9
Marilyn Monroe Red Velvet Pose 9 showcases Marilyn in a striking full-body arrangement, framed by richly textured red velvet that amplifies the image’s drama and glamour. The composition feels confident and expressive, making it one of the more visually immediate entries in the set.
As part of the complete twelve-image Red Velvet Collection, Pose 9 offers collectors a vivid and energetic interpretation of this landmark Tom Kelley session.
Originally captured in 1949 by photographer Tom Kelley, this iconic image of Marilyn Monroe is one of twelve from the legendary Red Velvet session. Shot before she became a household name, the series showcases Marilyn’s natural allure and quiet confidence, posed with intention against deep red drapery in a moment of striking poise and self-assurance. One image from this session would go on to appear in the inaugural issue of Playboy magazine, marking a pivotal point in American pop culture history.
