Country of origin; materials: Dutch/American; mixed media on illustration board

Additional Information: Provenance: Freddy Wittop Estate / Private Collection, Palm Beach, Florida, by descent.
Freddy Wittop (1911–2001) was a Dutch-American costume designer celebrated for his theatrical vision and artistry, winning a Tony Award for Hello, Dolly! and receiving the TDF/Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award. This signed mixed media drawing captures one of Wittop’s ballet costume concepts, rendered with expressive elegance on illustration board. With flowing lines, soft color, and poised gestures, the figure evokes the lyricism of movement — a hallmark of Wittop’s work across both musical theater and classical dance.
Wittop’s illustration style shares visual affinities with that of Erté and Léon Bakst — designers who translated the energy of performance into refined costume design. This piece comes directly from the artist’s estate and remains part of a larger collection held in a private Palm Beach collection. A rare example of stage design intersecting with fine art, it appeals to collectors of ballet ephemera, costume illustration, and mid-century theater history.
