Irene-Fisher Easter Parade Sketch

Thanks to Christian Esquevin for sending this beautiful sketch and background information! Easter Parade is one of my favorite musicals.

This sketch, by Virginia Fisher, signed by Irene, presents a design worn by one of the strolling women on the 5th Avenue “Easter Parade” scene. This sketch and the original costume had been exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s “Hollywood and History” exhibition many years ago.
