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 standing with his left hand at his side and his right hand in his pant pocket. He wears a single-breasted blue houndstooth jacket, which is open and the right corner pushed back behind his wrist so that his hand shows partially at the opening of his pant pocket. Under the jacket he wears a white v-neck sweater, a light blue dress shirt, and a yellow necktie. His dark gray pants are cuffed at the hem over his white 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.
