Scarce Edith Head design sketch of her elegant costume for Lucille Ball in the 1964 televised special ''The Lucille Ball Comedy Hour.'' Head designed for the great actresses of classic Hollywood and had already won 7 of her 8 Oscars when she drafted this exquisite sketch. She puts the hilarious redhead in a white formal dress with matching gloves and jacket. The upper right of the sketch bears notations, possibly by Head, indicating this costume was for a segment of the show called ''Mr. & Mrs.'', a thinly-veiled parody of Lucy's failed marriage to Desi Arnaz. Measures 11'' x 15''. Creasing around the edges and light smudging, else near fine.
