Cinderella (1950) 
original production animation drawing
red, brown and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 6" x 2.5"

This lovely original rough animation drawing of Cinderella was created by Disney animator Eric Larson in development of a scene in the animated feature. It is an animator's extreme drawing, with two grids drawn at right, by supervising animator Eric Larson. In the scene in Lady Tremaine's bed chamber, the wicked stepmother scolds Cinderella after Gus has been discovered hiding under a teacup: "It seems we have time on our hands." Cinderella responds: "But I was only trying to..." The brown pencil underdrawing is a fine complement to the final rendering in black pencil. The animator wrote the designation "31" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene
