(CBS-TV, 1951-1957) Original costume concept sketch accomplished in gouache, pencil and ink on an approx. 9 in. x 14 in. leaf of artist’s illustration paper, featuring a dress design worn by Lucille Ball in various episodes of I Love Lucy, including “Lucy Writes a Novel,” The Black Wig,” The Business Manager,” and “Ethel’s Hometown.” Several variations of this design were created by Academy Award-winning costume designer, Elois Jenssen for Lucy’s approval and this particular dress became a staple in Elois’ designs for Lucy. The “jumper” is a one piece outfit that could be worn with a variety of blouses or sweaters each rendering an entirely different look. Signed by Jenssen at the lower right.
