This is a pen-and-ink drawing by Cecil Beaton. It’s a full-length sketch of a female figure, probably for a costume design. The back of the drawing shows diary pages he later turned into his 1964 book *Fair Lady*. You can still see his blue pen notes over the typed lines. Check out more of Beaton’s designs at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
