(Walt Disney Studios, 1928) Original production drawing featuring Mickey Mouse from Steamboat Willie, showing the iconic mouse in a scarce full-bodied pose, taking a bow with mallet in hand. Accomplished in graphite on untrimmed 12 x 9.5 animation paper, marked "426" in the lower right corner. Image measures 3.25 x 3.25. In fine condition.
During a wonderful musical sequence, Mickey cheerfully opens a bull's mouth to play percussion on the oversized teeth; when finished with his solo, Mickey takes a bow. A remarkably early and desirable production drawing from the famous debut of Mickey Mouse, and the first Disney cartoon to feature synchronized sound.
