Gouache on trimmed production celluloid
applied to a full sheet of acetate and set over a watercolor
and india ink pan production background. The ever brave Little
Hiawatha, with bow in hand, readies himself for the hunt in this
gorgeous panoramic setup. The atmospheric forest background has
been attributed to famed Disney concept/background artist Gustave
Tenggren. This is one of only approximately 6 Tenggren backgrounds
to have ever come up for sale. Tenggren's concept works have
sold privately for as much as $100,000. The cels of the animals
are from Snow White, which was released the same year as Little
Hiawatha. This is the largest and quite possibly the finest setup
ever to be sold from Little Hiawatha. Matted size 8.75"
x 32"
