A costume design drawing by Judy Dearing for the character George Murchison in the Lorraine Hansberry play A Raisin in the Sun. The drawing depicts a man with hair cropped short standing with his hands in his pants pockets. He wears a single-breasted black, tan, and red plaid jacket over a gray sweater vest, a white dress shirt, and a bright red tie. His khaki-colored pants are cuffed at the hem over his black oxford shoes. The man and his clothing are outlined in graphite with watercolor and unidentified pigment shading. The stamp for the United Scenic Artists Local 829 is in black ink in the lower right facing corner, with Dearing's signature in black ink below the stamp. The reverse is blank.
