Description

Desirable pencil and gouache costume sketch of a beautiful white dress designed for Grace Kelly on an off-white 12.75 x 17 sheet, signed and approved in the lower right in pencil, "All white for Grace, Okay, Edith." The full-length sketch shows the actress in a gorgeous gown and elegant gloves, with lower left attributing the sketch to artist Bob Mackie, a onetime protégé of Head who himself went on to become a renowned designer. In fine condition, with some rippling to edges and the enthusiastically painted background covering a portion of her face.
