"Pinocchio"

Walt Disney Studios

1940

 

   

 Gouache and watercolor on heavy artist paper. An impressive background form the scene in which Jiminy Cricket is singing the song "Give A Little Whistle" while jumping form the workbench to the cuckoo clock. Paintings of Geppetto's workbench have long been considered the "crown jewel" of backgrounds by collectors. And with good reason. Note the detail in the execution of the clock, the wood plane and the water urn. Works such as this one only come to market once every few years. Don't miss on the chance to make this the cornerstone of your collection.  Matted size: 26.75" x 11"
