Yves SAINT LAURENT's original drawings are very rare on the market since alsmost all of them are conserved by the Yves Saint Laurent - Pierre Bergé Foundation. Only some drawings, offered by the
artist to his friends, are now available for collectors.
This drawing has been formally authenticated by the Foundation, in the frame of the sale of Hector Pascual's estate (see below).

PROVENANCE :
Drawing made by Yves SAINT LAURENT for the actress Edwige Feuillère's dress in the theatre play "Cher Menteur" by Jean Cocteau. YSL offered these drawings to his friend and assistant Hector
Pascual.
Hector Pascual is particularly known for his work as a theatre and opera costume creator. He was a friend of Léonor Fini and was very close to Yves SAINT LAURENT.
He was his assistant for 10 years, creating costumes for Cocteau's plays, or for ballets of Roland Petit.
In 1981, SAINT LAURENT appointed him curator of the collections of his maison de couture.
