Striking vintage figurative artwork titled Jock, originally produced by Lambert Studios as catalog No. 803 and featured in the company’s 1974 advertising.

The composition depicts a handsome, blond, bare-chested young man laughing with his head thrown back, casually gripping the waistband of his blue jeans. The vibrant turquoise and emerald-green background gives the piece a distinctly retro, Pop Art sensibility.

Originally produced as a decorative print by Lambert Studios, this example appears to have been subsequently enhanced with hand-applied paint by H. Loomis, whose signature appears in the lower left corner. The expressive painted embellishments add texture, dimension, and individuality to the original printed composition.

Lambert Studios was known for producing decorative artwork during the latter half of the 20th century. The identification of this particular image as Jock, No. 803, in a 1974 advertisement provides an interesting historical connection to the era’s popular decorative art.

Playful, provocative, and wonderfully unconventional, this vintage piece makes a fabulous statement in a contemporary, eclectic, or midcentury-inspired interior.
