A pencil drawing of Vesta inspired by one of her photos. I had started by doodling with a small image of one of her male impersonations and with the second drawing it merged with her head to look like a hat. We see so many images of Vesta dressed up as a man I thought I would leave it in, just to symbolise how this was a stage act.

Vesta as Dick Whittington in pantomime

....and Vesta in 'My Lady Molly', Daly's Theatre, New York.
