Edition of Three Worldwide 

40 x 60

Each edition features unique butterfly placement, making every piece a one-of-a-kind collector’s item—an artwork worthy of a regal setting and a deep appreciation for timeless icons. This elegant and powerful portrait captures Jane Seymour in 1973, during the filming of the James Bond classic Live and Let Die. Taken by the legendary Terry O’Neill, one of the most iconic photographers of the 20th century, this image preserves a pivotal moment in film history and in Seymour’s rise to international stardom. O’Neill’s photographs are part of major museum collections and are held by prominent collectors worldwide. In 1973, Jane Seymour achieved global fame for her role as the mysterious and clairvoyant Solitaire, starring opposite Roger Moore in his first appearance as James Bond. Her performance in Live and Let Die launched her into the global spotlight, establishing her as a timeless figure in film and fashion.

This particular portrait was selected for the powerful exhibition ‘Hollywood Reloaded’, conceived by artist and former Special Forces operative Bran Symondson. Notably, it was also the last project Terry O’Neill worked on before his passing, giving the piece deep historical and emotional significance.

The original photograph is hand-signed by both Terry O’Neill and Bran Symondson, making it an exceptionally rare and valuable collector’s item with strong artistic provenance. In Hollywood Reloaded, portraits of cinematic legends—Jane Seymour, Roger Moore, Peter Sellers, Michael Caine, Brigitte Bardot—are reimagined with a dramatic intervention. Each subject is shown holding or associated with a weapon, and Symondson fires live rounds through each print using the exact same firearm depicted, leaving behind real bullet holes.

These literal wounds in the image disrupt the illusion of cinematic glamour and confront viewers with the violent symbols so often romanticised in popular culture. The resulting work is a powerful commentary on the intersection of beauty, fame, and danger—particularly striking in Seymour’s portrayal, where innocence and mystery are pierced by raw violence.

The contrast is as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning.

With only three editions available, each featuring unique butterfly placements and dual signatures from both O’Neill and Symondson, this piece is a rare fusion of film history, fine art, and social reflection.
