Audrey Hepburn, "Cigarette"

Audrey Hepburn  - Cigarette

Portrait, 8.5 x 11 in.
Lead on Paper

Audrey Hepburn is a legend, just mentioning her name summons the ideals of beauty and elegance.  She is pictured here early in her career while she spent all her time nursing those long cigarette filters in her dainty little fingers.  I had thought about doing her in Breakfast At Tiffany's but instead I decided instead simply to remain in those idyllic years of her career during which she would make such movies as Paris When It Sizzles, How To Steal A Million and of course 1964's blockbuster smash My Fair Lady.  If you're like me and just can't get enough Hepburn even with all of her films available on DVD now you need to snag this piece up and make your wall a bit more stylish, everyone should be so lucky as to have her consultation on decoration, haha!
