Sell Your Leroy Neiman Femlin Drawing Signed
Leroy Neiman was personally asked by Hugh Hefner to contribute some original art when Playboy magazine was established in 1953 and conceived the Femlin character. Beginning in 1957, for half a decade, Neiman supplied two Femlin drawings for each monthly Playboy issue. We at Nate D. Sanders Auctions sold an original Femlin drawing signed by LeRoy Neiman for $3,670. Please see details below:
Very Scarce Original Artwork of the Playboy Character “Femlin” — Drawn by Playboy’s Illustrator LeRoy Neiman Who Created Her in 1955
Scarce original artwork of the Playboy character Femlin, a female sprite created by LeRoy Neiman, who has drawn her every month for Playboy’s Party Jokes page since 1955 to this day. Our “Femlin” here simply says “Hi”; she has been drawn by Neiman in black marker who signs at the bottom, “LeRoy Neiman / ’85.” The Femlin is a remarkably scarce drawing, given that Neiman has drawn her for so many years and continues to draw her. Her personality is mischievous and is adorned only in opera gloves, stockings and high heels. She has been so popular that a set of four plaster statuettes advertised for sale in Playboy in 1963 recently sold for nearly $8,000. Drawing is on a 5″ x 7″ card and is accompanied by a handwritten note dated 22 January 1985 which reads, “I created the Femlin 30 years ago. Aug. ’85 is her 30th birthday. / LeRoy Neiman.” Near fine condition. Sold for $3,670.
