These authentic mid-century fashion advertising sketches from 1960 bear every trace of that process: mark-throughs, ink smudges, white-out, and tiny pinholes from studio walls. This one has revisions added as additional pieces of paper on top of the face and legs. This is a working original — not polished, not digital, but alive with the energy of its maker.

We imagine it framed in a study, office, private dressing room, or nursery.
