Ursula Andress Biography
Born on 19 March 1936 in Switzerland, Ursula Andress entered film history with a single scene that became legendary.
Her emergence from the sea in a white bikini, as Honey Ryder, in Dr No (1962) opposite Sean Connery defined the image of the Bond girls forever. An international star of the 1960s, she filmed across Europe and Hollywood — Casino Royale (1967), The Four of the Apocalypse — and became one of the beauty icons of her era.
A founding image that remains one of the most reproduced in all of film history. Our framed Fine Art photo prints celebrate this icon: Honey Ryder and portraits, in black and white or, for some, in colour, for a living room, an office or a home cinema.
Frequently asked questions
Which Ursula Andress films and portraits do you offer as framed prints?
Our collection celebrates the very first Bond girl. It features Honey Ryder and her emergence from the sea in a white bikini in Dr No (1962) opposite Sean Connery, the founding image of the saga; she also appears in Casino Royale (1967). The most requested prints are Honey Ryder and her portraits — each in a numbered limited edition.
Are Ursula Andress photos available in black and white?
Yes. Most of our Ursula Andress prints are offered in black and white — a rendering that beautifully highlights her status as the founding icon of the Bond girls, notably the Dr No scene. Some images are also available in colour, to recover the tones of the period. Each print is produced on Fine Art photo paper and then hand-framed in solid wood in our in-house workshop, with a black or white mat of your choice. Black and white remains the most requested by collectors for a chic, timeless display.
Are these Ursula Andress prints authentic, and in which sizes?

Produced in a numbered limited edition on Fine Art photo paper, it comes with its certificate of authenticity (COA), a hologram and a traceability QR code. Two sizes to choose from: 70×50 cm (Starck Original) or 60×40 cm (Starck Medium), hand-framed in solid wood in our in-house workshop, black or white mat. The whole piece arrives ready to hang and carefully packaged — the standards of an art gallery applied to every order.
