Interestingly, the American poster of this famous little girl and dog image is nearly impossible to find. Luckily, a few in the large Italian 39” x 55” size format were found. Ballantyne then painted one of the most famous advertising images ever when Coppertone suntan lotion asked her to create a billboard image in 1959. That image of a pigtailed girl with her bathing suit being tugged down by a small dog has become an American icon. Her 3-year-old daughter Cheri Brand was used as the model for the girl.
