With the Collection stamp on the verso of the Hector Pascual(1928-2014). Pascual is particularly known for his work as a theatre and opera costume creator. He was a friend of Léonor Fini and was very close to Saint Laurent, being his assistant for 10 years, creating costumes for Cocteau's plays and for ballets of Roland Petit. In 1981, Saint Laurent appointed him curator of the collections of the Pierre Bergé - Yves St Laurent Foundation, a poste he held until 2009. 

Original drawings by Yves Saint Laurent are very rare on the market since almost all of them are conserved by the Yves Saint Laurent - Pierre Bergé Foundation. Only occasional drawings, offered originally by the artist to his friends, are now available for collectors.

Cher Menteur ("Dear Liar"), an epistolary comedy by the American writer Jérome Kilty, was written from the correspondence of two famous lovers: the Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw and the English actress, Mrs Campbell. The text was adapted into French by Jean Cocteau and the play created in Paris on September 25, 1980, at the Théâtre de l'Athénée, with Edwige Feuillère and Jean Marais. Yves Saint Laurent designed and had Edwige Feuillère's stage costumes made in his workshops. Hector Pascual assisted him with the scenography.
