Capturing the enigmatic essence of Marilyn Monroe as Norma Jeane Mortenson, this close-up portrait focuses on her powerful, captivating gaze. Her eyes, detailed with a mix of strength and vulnerability, reflect her complex persona. Her slightly parted mouth adds raw authenticity, bringing out feelings of longing and resilience in her iconic beauty. The bright sepia tones give the artwork a vintage feel, while highlighted whites make her features glow.

"Norma Jeane in Sepia" explores Monroe's duality, inviting viewers to appreciate the multifaceted woman behind the legend. As Marilyn once said, "I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."
