Jessie St. Vincent's (Melora Walters) screen-matched, framed, and hand-painted portrait of Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) from Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights. Distinctive shading and paint markings screen-match this portrait to when Diggler showed Amber Waves (Julianne Moore) around his new mansion and pointed out the painting done of him by St. Vincent, who was already working on another one. Vincent's painting also appeared in the El Royale motel when Todd Parker (Thomas Jane) roped Dirk and Reed Rothchild (John C. Reilly) into a drug heist, suggesting that it was one of the few personal possessions Diggler kept after his fall from grace.

The critically-acclaimed Boogie Nights is widely considered one of Anderson's best films and one of the greatest films of all time. It was nominated for three Academy Awards®, including Best Original Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Supporting Actress for Julianne Moore, and Best Supporting Actor for Burt Reynolds.

This painting depicting Diggler shirtless in a desert, surrounded by cacti and a snake, with the character name "Jessie St. Vincent" written in the bottom left corner is rendered in oil on canvas. It comes mounted inside a custom wooden frame. The frame exhibits some scuffing. Dimensions: 112 cm x 82.75 cm x 2.75 cm (44" x 32.5" x 1")

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
