Drawing, design for a man's costume, part of a group of 88 costume drawings by Vincente Minnelli. The costume, likely for Bob Hope in 'Gazouka' (possibly a part of the 'Ziegfeld Follies of 1936', produced for the Shuberts), consists of a long dressing gown, possibly made of heavy white silk faille with a pattern of scrolls in black, and with gray collar, cuffs, pocket bands and belt, worn with a white scarf tied around the neck.
According to an additional sheet of notes typed by Vincente Minnelli (included with matted drawing), the costume is: "#132 BOB HOPE in 'GAZOUKA'/ Dressing gown of heavy white silk faille that is/ painted as per design with black. Collar, cuffs,/ pocket bands and sash of gray silk faille. Silk/ crepe scarf."
