Description

Edith Head approves a stunning evening dress designed for Sophia Loren in Houseboat

Superb original costume sketch of Sophia Loren in her role as Cinzia Zaccardi in the 1958 film Houseboat, accomplished in graphite and watercolor on a 14 x 15.25 sheet of sketch paper. The full-length sketch shows the “First Version” design for the elegant evening dress worn by Loren in the movie, with a sketch to upper right indicating that a hat and “full necklace” also be added; these suggested accessories were included and appeared on screen. Signed and approved in artist's pencil in the lower right corner, “OK, Edith Head.” In fine condition.
