| Object history | The drawing is for an unidentified character in Andrée Howard's ballet Mirror for Witches, produced by the Sadler's Wells (now Royal) Ballet at the Royal Opera House in 1952. The ballet was based upon Esther Forbes' eponymous novel. Howard designed the costumes and collaborated on the scene design with Norman Adams. Pinned to the drawing was an outline of the scenario. The drawing came to the Museum from Maude Gosling, the dancer Maude Lloyd, who was a close friend of Andrée Howard. |
