Mortinsen was Balmain's companion and worked as a designer for Balmain from 1948-1991. This drawing is a vintage couture design from the early 1980s (84/83). It's authenticity is noted by the ruddy brown tone insigna representing PB in upper left. This is an embossed notation that can be felt to the touch and is noted in the photo detail of picture #3. It is done with pen and ink on drawing paper measuring 8.25 x 11.75 inches. It is clean with no stains or discoloring. It is hard to find original drawings from iconic couturiers. Recently purchased by us. The drawing comes matted in a neutral tone 16 x 20 inch custom mat ready for a standard size frame. Please allow time for custom matting. See less
