Step into Hollywood history with this breathtakingly rare, original silver gelatin photograph capturing Marilyn Monroe in one of her most intimate and alluring moments—a stunning semi-nude portrait from the set of Something’s Got to Give (1962), the legendary star’s final, unfinished film.

Taken during an exclusive, closed-set pool session, this oversized 13.5” x 11” masterpiece beautifully showcases Monroe in the enchanting glow of evening light, her luminous skin glistening with sparkling reflections from the water. Holding only a delicate hand towel, she sits sideways in the pool, gazing directly at the camera with an expression of both playfulness and mystery. Her voluptuous figure, the curve of her back, the soft outline of her chest and leg, all blend into an ethereal vision of beauty and cinematic legend.

This exceptional print, produced on semi-gloss, double-weight paper, from original negative in 1970s carries an annotated verso reading “c Schiller/Woodfield”, referencing the celebrated photographers Lawrence Schiller and William Read Woodfield, who were entrusted with capturing Monroe’s most provocative and mesmerizing imagery during the film’s production. Schiller first photographed Monroe in 1960 on the set of “Let’s Make Love” and again in 1962 during the “Something’s Got to Give” production. He captured several iconic images of Monroe, including those from the pool scene.

A museum-worthy treasure, this photograph is not just an image—it is a testament to Monroe’s enduring radiance, her final act of confidence before the cameras, and an irreplaceable artifact from a film that never was. An absolute must for the discerning collector.
