“Naked Woman Lying on her Stomach”
by Edgar Degas

The following images are all from the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" a 1953 film adaptation of the 1949 stage musical, released by 20th Century Fox, directed by Howard Hawks and starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, with Charles Coburn, Elliott Reid, Tommy Noonan, Taylor Holmes, and Norma Varden in supporting roles.

At this point in the film, Marilyn is singing "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend". I just love the chandelier and various candle stands on the set.
