An original costume design by Edith Head for Anne Baxter as Queen Nefretiri for the film The Ten Commandments (Paramount 1956). A mixed medium costume design by Edith Head for Anne Baxtor, illustration likely by sketch artist and costume designer Adele Balkan, who was uncredited for wardrobe. The sketch features a full-length Queen Nefretiri lounging on a couch surrounded by Ancient Egyptian decor in a pleated sheer gown, showing the character's body outline. The gown is a two-tone jade and cypress green, the gown fits close to the body, and the pleated cape is cut below the bust at the front but goes into a floor-length train at the back (the cape's hem is casually draped on the lower legs). The look is accessorized with jewelry, gold bracelets, a collared bib necklace, rings, earrings, hair ornaments, and a pair of wedge gold sandals. There are two chiffon swatches at the top right corner; then at the bottom right corner is a profile illustration of Nefretiri in the outfit. The illustration is signed at the bottom left corner with Edtih's first name, and notated with the character's name and scenes where the costume is featured, "To John With Love Edith, Nefretiri, #2-Nefretiri's Balconey-Scenes-B-32-33-34." Then at the back, there are two notations in pencil at the top right corner, "HEADRESS PLATE #27, COSTUME PLATE # 907" and the left bottom corner "To John Anderson."Anne Baxter wears this costume when Rameses comes to express his growing concern for Moses, both he and Nefretiri argue as Rameses dictates his authority over her and acknowledges her as his wife and property. Nefretiri says how she could never love him, and he responds that she must obey him even if she doesn't love him. Sketch: 14.5 x 19.75 inches; Mount: 18 x 29.25 inchesPROVENANCE Lot 218 Christie's, Sale 1854, May 30, 2007
