A costume design drawing by Judy Dearing for the character Bobo in the Lorraine Hansberry play A Raisin in the Sun. The drawing depicts a man standing with his right hand in his jacket pocket and his left hand in a fist at his left waist. He is wearing a dark brown fedora hat with a blue hatband, a grey coat in a blue speckled pattern with a mid-thigh hemline, a dark brown sweater vest or cardigan, a gray dress shirt, bright green pants, and light brown 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.
