This lot consists of a hand-drawn crayon illustration on brown paper, signed and dated "Peregoy '94". Image depicts a spry-looking gentleman reclining gracefully in mid-air. His dapper outfit features a starched white collar and cuffs, a bowler hat, and spats on his shoes. The artist has rendered the subject's face in an especially interesting way: warm and cool shades express a beautiful play of light across the character's rounded cheekbones, full lips, and twinkling eyes. Done in the imaginative style of former Walt Disney Productions animator, Walter Peregoy (American, 1925-2015). Piece measures approximately 24.5" x 24.5".

Overall fair condition. Due to the flimsy nature of the brown paper this piece was created upon, some creasing and signs of handling are apparent. Minor tear at bottom left corner. Little to no damage besides that which has been noted. For further reference, please see photos.
