Our expert's notes

A Grinch make-up test from Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This pre-production bust was created during early tests, and features a sculpt by legendary make-up artist Rick Baker, designed for himself as the character.

Created on a rigid foam headcast of Baker, this test features foam-latex appliances that have been glued down, blended and painted just as they would be if applied to an actor. The facial appliances are fully painted in the character's trademark green, with small details and accents on the eyes, cheeks, nose and lips. Glue and hair residue on the scalp and back of the head indicate this test was likely dressed with a wig during the design process. The bust shows light wear, with small tears and missing patches of paint on the neck and back of the head, but remains in good condition. Dimensions: 45.75 cm x 26.5 cm x 40.5 cm (18" x 10 1/2" x 16")

£1,000 - 1,500
