Vintage Theater Costume Design Artwork & Sketch Signed Figural Studies Framed & Unframed Lot

a unique lot of two vintage theatrical costume design artworks, including one framed finished illustration and one original sketch study. These pieces appear to be related to stage or opera costume design, featuring detailed figural renderings with expressive linework and soft color application.

The framed piece depicts a full-length male figure in elaborate costume, complete with draped cape and decorative elements. Handwritten notations are visible near the top (including “Charles Mathews” and what appears to reference a role or production), adding historical and artistic interest.

The accompanying unframed piece is an original sketch showing a robed figure holding a staff, rendered in pencil and watercolor with visible construction lines and artistic notes—offering a glimpse into the creative process.
