Artist at Work
Gibson Girl Captured!A true famous Artist at Work, Julian Ritter is shown here actually painting his famous portrait initialed The Gibson Girl. Julian Ritter, known for his Silver Slipper Nudes, a remarkable collection that once hung in the famed Las Vegas Strip hotel / casino and reportedly worth of many millions of dollars.A private story told to me by Julian, one of many. In his young days Julian was called on to paint murals on the walls of a Whorehouse in San Francisco. Later he was called back to paint over the paintings because all the patrons were spending to much time looking at the murals on the walls and not enough time going to the rooms.
Julian selected vivacious Janet Boyd to be the model for the famous Gibson Girl portrait as shown here.
