Mickey Mouse in Plaid Shorts with Banjo-- c. 1940s-50s Ink, Graphite and Crayon Drawing (Copy) wood and lead The leather ear covers (obscures)

The leather ear covers (obscures) the painted eye one on side and there are hairline surface splits to the interiors of a couple legs

There is something so heartening to me about strongly identifying with the subjects of drawings and paintings and objects made many years ago--as much as things have changed

with "The heavens declare the glory of God" written in beautiful script on the reverse--counterpointing the lair of the dragon

A couple of small stains at top right which look like watercolor or ink smears perhaps original to the paper on which it was done

Mickey Mouse in Plaid Shorts with Banjo-- c. 1940s-50s Ink, Graphite and Crayon Drawing (Copy) wood and lead The leather ear covers (obscures)I'm not especially big on Mickey Mouse, but I like the spirit and attitude of this drawing, with Mickey looking more laid back than manic in plaid shorts and booties, picking his banjo! 7 1 8" x 4 13 16". Graphite and colored pencil crayon on thinnish paper, with a few stains and loss to the upper right corner as evident.
