Description

Exquisite Head costume design of Hepburn for Roman Holiday

Bold and visually striking original pencil and watercolor costume sketch of Audrey Hepburn in her role as Princess Ann in Roman Holiday on a 13.75 x 16.75 sheet of sketch paper. The full-length sketch shows Hepburn’s character in a brilliant red dress and shoes and white blouse and is signed in artist’s pencil at the lower right corner, “Edith Head,” and notated near the top, “Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.” In fine condition. Hepburn would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for the film, with Head garnering Best Costume Design. The combination of the subject and its winning of two Academy Awards elevate this offering from a costume design to a visually striking work of art. RR Auction COA.
