Description

First version dress sketch for Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, signed by Oscar-winning costume designer Edith Head

Marvelous original costume sketch of Audrey Hepburn in her role as Princess Ann in the 1953 film Roman Holiday, accomplished in graphite, colored pencil, and watercolor on a 14 x 16.5 sheet of sketch paper. The full-length sketch shows the first version design for a dress worn by Hepburn in the movie, which was later made in a lighter tone with floral embellishments. Signed in artist pencil in the lower left corner, “Edith Head,” who adds above, “Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday.” In fine condition, with trivial edgewear. Head’s influential work on Roman Holiday earned her the Oscar for Best Costume Design – Black-and-White at the 26th Academy Awards—it was the fifth of her career eight Academy Awards.
