Rainier III, Prince of Monaco (1923–2005) married the Oscar-winning American actress Grace Kelly (1929–1982) in 1956, an event the press dubbed “The Wedding of the Century.” Diana Denny Kalmus (known professionally as “Denny”) portrayed the glamorous couple with emphatic, graceful lines executed in brush and ink in this drawing, one of more than 1,000 that she created between the mid-1940s and 1960s. Affiliated with the Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance most of these years, Denny produced caricatures of American generals and political leaders, foreign heads of state, and celebrated stars of film and stage that were published in multiple newspapers, often on the front page.
