Drawing for a woman's theatrical costume with a green gown with turretted borders and jewelry with black flowers, Ziegfeld Follies 1936 — Vincente Minnelli

Drawing, design for a woman's costume, part of a group of 88 costume designs by Vincente Minnelli. The costume consists of a long-sleeved, green gown with long, flared skirt and turretted top and hem, both with copper trimmings on the borders, worn with matching necklace and bracelet, made up of golden strips with a large, stylized, black flower; another flower of the same kind decorates the hair, which seems to be covered by a white veil.
