Original drawing original production art, specifically a story sketch, likely for a classic Disney animated film such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Dumbo. The drawing style, executed in charcoal or pencil on toned paper, is characteristic of animation storyboards from the mid-20th century.
Artwork Details
Type: Original production story sketches.
Subject: Scenes inside a mine shaft featuring a character (possibly a dwarf or a similar small character) in a mine cart.
Style: The expressive, loose charcoal line work and staging are consistent with the work of artists like Bill Peet or Joe Grant, who were influential in Disney's story department during that era.
Purpose: These sketches were used to visualize narrative sequences and camera movement before full animation began, serving as part of the storyboarding process.
Contextual Information
The presence of mine carts is strongly associated with the "Heigh-Ho" sequence from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where the seven dwarfs work in their diamond mine. Similar mine scenes and train/cart concepts were also used in other shorts and films like Dumbo (featuring Casey Jr.) and Ben and Me. |
