It is the profile of a woman in a wide-brimmed hat. I was desperate to find out where it was from, but couldn't find anything on the internet. Later, I ended up watching the special edition dvd & it turns out that the it is an original Cecil Beaton painting that he did of Audrey Hepburn when he was working on the costumes for My Fair Lady. The painting belonged to director Nancy Meyers. It is the only thing like it that I have ever seen by Beaton, because one typically comes across his photographs or costume sketches. Has anyone come across any of his paintings online? I would love to see more.Hannah and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083154041425750970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-86456297752222222672009-09-30T09:54:22.635-05:002009-09-30T09:54:22.635-05:00Oh, please, a profile view: then I could place my ...Oh, please, a profile view: then I could place my hand under my slightly sagging chin line and no one would be the wiser (maybe).
