Outstanding original costume sketch of Sophia Loren in her role as Cinzia Zaccardi in the 1958 film Houseboat, accomplished in graphite, colored pencil, and watercolor on a 14 x 16.5 sheet of sketch paper. The full-length sketch shows the design for the morning gown worn by Loren in a kitchen scene with Cary Grant, signed in artist's pencil at the lower right corner, "Edith Head," with notations to upper corners, “OK Kitchen, Kitchen, Sophia Loren #8 or 9,” and “#8, Entrance, cooking from pool looking at Jack to tight to Sophia.” The reverse bears additional notations, including Head’s directions to keep “black white” with “no pink,” which is ultimately how the gown appeared on screen. In fine condition.
