"Bella." Costume design for female dancer.
Watercolor, chalk and wash on paper. 432x356 mm; 17x14 inches, sheet. Initialed in lower right image and titled in upper left margin, beneath matte. Created for the production of the off-Broadway musical comedy Show Me Where the Good Times Are, which premiered at the Jewish Repertory Theatre, June 1993.
