Title: Dessert at the Belvedere - an original ink and watercolor drawing by Edward Gorey Author: Gorey, Edward Place: Publisher: Date: January, 1973 Description: Original ink and watercolor drawing, matted and framed. Drawing measures 18x18.5 cm. (7x7"). With frame measures 55x55 cm. (21½x21½"). This illustration appeared in the January 1973 issue of Playboy Magazine. The original ink and watercolor drawing shows a few upscale guests checking in at the Belvedere Hotel. A busty woman in an elaborate gown chats with an older gentleman in an all-white suit and blue tie, while a bell-boy awaits to take up the luggage. This original drawing was previously offered in the Bonham's June 23, 2002 auction of the Playboy Estate. Original drawings are especially difficult to obtain, and those in color are very scarce. In a beautiful silver-colored frame. Lot Amendments Condition: A few very faint marks to frame; drawing fine. Item number: 217698
