About the work
Print of a watercolour sketch showing a female figure, entitled 'Emma Hart', Act I, originally created by Cecil Beaton, ca. 1959. Annotation on the sketch indicates that it was produced in connection with the play Landscape with Figures, initially entitled The Gainsborough Girls, in 1959. The production, though praised for the quality of the costumes and décor, was not a commerical success.
Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton, CBE (14 January 1904 – 18 January 1980) was an English fashion, portrait and war photographer, diarist, painter, interior designer and an Academy Award-winning stage and costume designer for films and the theatre.
