Lot Essay
On first meeting Audrey at a London party, following the release of Roman Holiday, photographer and costume designer Cecil Beaton wrote in his diary: Audrey’s enormous potential cinema success, with attendant salary, seems to have made little impression on this delightful human being [...] In a flash I discovered Audrey Hepburn is chock-a-block with sprite like charm [...] we liked one another. Beaton would go on to shoot Audrey in a series of portraits for British Vogue in 1954.
