This is a framed, original costume design sketch for a character named "MARIANE" from the play 'The Miser', dated to the period of 1785-1800. The artwork features a detailed, full-length illustration of a woman in a long, flowing, peach-colored gown with a high waist, characteristic of the late 18th-century fashion known as the Empire silhouette.
The sketch includes notes and fabric samples attached to the left side, which are common features of costume design renderings to guide the creation of the final garment. The signature of the artist is present in the lower right corner, Charles Berliner, as well as the United Scenic Artists stamp Local 829.
