Additional Information: Freddy Wittop's drawing depicts one of the costumes he designed for "Bajour." Provenance: Freddy Wittop Estate / Private Collection, Palm Beach, Florida, by descent.
Freddy Wittop was a Dutch-American costume designer best known for his award-winning work on Broadway, including a Tony Award for Hello, Dolly! and the TDF/Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award. This signed mixed media drawing was created for the Broadway musical Bajour, a 1964 production known for its vibrant characters and colorful, bohemian costuming.
Executed in watercolor, ink, and pencil, the illustration highlights Wittop’s dynamic use of line and color to convey both movement and theatricality. His work sits alongside that of iconic costume illustrators like Erté, Miles White, and Edith Head — designers who defined visual storytelling in theater and film. Sourced directly from the artist’s estate, this piece has been preserved by descent through a private collection in Palm Beach, Florida. Wittop’s illustrations hold strong crossover appeal for collectors of fashion history, Broadway memorabilia, and 20th-century design.
