Botticelli Pillows
Description: One classic Hollywood star. One famous portrait from art history. What would happen when you combine them together? In this collection of artworks I mix together the beauty of classic Hollywood stars and the beauty of the most famous art portraits. The search for the right pictures is never easy.
