1954 Rene Bouche original Vogue portrait of Audrey Hepburn
About the Item
Audrey sat for this portrait, just before wining her Oscar for Roman Holiday.
This appeared in US Vogue in the April 1954 Edition.
The text in Vogue reads "Will they be stars?"
The original tear sheet from the April 1954 Vogue is included with the drawing.
Rene Bouche is considered one of the finest Fashion Illustrators, and worked for Vogue for over 25 years.
Bouche's rarely come on the market, and his portraits are rarer still.
His portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy sold at Sotheby's NY in 1996 for $75,000.
Also included with this sale is the 2011 book MASTERS OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION, by David Downton, with a chapter on Rene Bouche
