(Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Superb group of twelve original production drawings featuring King Hubert from Sleeping Beauty, showing the king raising his goblet while giving a wink; one drawing is annotated in the margin: "Eye in same attitude and exp. as #58." Accomplished in graphite and colored pencil on untrimmed 15.5 x 12.5 animation paper, marked in the lower corners with numbers ranging from "22" to "244," including number "58." Images measure from 5.5 x 6 to 6 x 9. In overall fine condition.
King Hubert is the jovial and good-natured father of Prince Phillip. A loyal friend to King Stefan, he eagerly anticipates the union of their kingdoms through the marriage of their children. With his hearty laugh and bumbling charm, Hubert provides lighthearted comic relief amid the film’s more dramatic moments.
