One-of-a-kind original hand-painted concept art of Charlton Heston as Moses in Cecil B. deMille’s classic, The Ten Commandments. The unsigned oil painting is done on an 8.5 x 10.5 artist’s board and was commissioned directly by deMille and painted by Wally Westmore, the make-up supervisor of the film, with his designs executed by his brother Frank, both members of the prominent Westmore family of make-up artists. The image shows a bearded Heston in profile, sporting graying hair and a matching beard, and dressed in a red and green tunic, and is headed along the top, “Moses…After Seeing the Burning Bush.” Reverse is notated in pencil in an unknown hand, “After Burning Bush,” and “Mark Westmore Archives.” In very fine condition, with a single small tack hole to each corner tip. Provenance: The Westmore family.
