Our expert's notes

A make-up test bust for the Cat in Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat. This bust features an early make-up Baker designed on himself in pre-production. This iteration of the character is faithful to Dr. Seuss’ original design, replicating the small cat nose, prominent muzzle, and long eyelashes. This piece was created on a biscuit foam head cast and has foam latex appliances adhered to the form and blended much the same way they would be applied to an actor. The face and neck are painted in multiple shades of white and pink with black and purple highlights on the lip and nose. Large eyelashes were applied to complete the look. This piece remains in good condition. Dimensions: 7” x 10” x 13” (18 cm x 25 cm x 33 cm)
