Description

Magnificent Clarence Sinclair Bull portrait

Fabulous early vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 Clarence Sinclair Bull portrait of Disney smiling genuinely for the camera, beautifully signed in fountain pen, “Sincerely, Walt Disney.” Double matted and framed to an overall size of 13 x 15. In fine condition, with a couple minor scattered light surface marks and creases.

Bull was MGM’s chief photographer for more than 40 years. In the early 1930s, he captured a series of photos of Disney, including the famous image of Disney with a shadow reflection of Mickey Mouse. It is likely that this portrait originated from around that same period. In the well-preserved photo offered here, Bull has successfully captured all of the warmth for which Disney and his creations have become famous. Rarely seen of this era…and in such superb condition! Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
