he piece shown in the image is a multimedia work by Michelle Mishkin that blends vintage-style photography with surreal, colorful accents.

  • Central Subject: A black-and-white, full-length portrait of a woman in a classic Playboy Bunny costume, including a black bodysuit, white collar with a bowtie, and white wrist cuffs.
  • Surreal Elements:
    • Her face is obscured by a large, vibrant butterfly (predominantly green, yellow, and black).
    • She wears oversized, stylized bunny ears that appear to be made of a textured, dark material.
    • A second, smaller butterfly is positioned near her right hip.
    • She is holding a white smartphone up to her ear, creating a modern juxtaposition with the vintage aesthetic.
  • Background and Frame: The subject is set against a textured, light-colored background and is housed in a heavy, ornate gold frame with a wide, metallic border.

Dimensions:  40x38
