GARTH WILLIAMS ORIGINAL FINAL PEN AND INK BOOK ILLUSTRATION
FOR HARRY KITTEN AND TUCKER MOUSE
PAGE 9



A STUNNING OVERSIZED ORIGINAL GARTH WILLIAMS DETAILED FINAL PUBLISHED PEN AND INK DRAWING, FOR PAGE 9. 
Not a preliminary sketch and not a pencil sketch:


This charming piece is for the original final artwork used to create the illustration on page 9 of "Harry Kitten And Tucker Mouse".  The striking charming illustration depicts several mice all curled up warmly sleeping on top of each other snuggled in a piece of cloth which no doubt was dragged into their mouse hole. An absolutely adorable illustration!  What we love about this piece is the clean artistic rendering by Garth, the warm, cozy emotion of the piece, and the fact that it is a giant oversize illustration which pacts a lot of presence. Would be stunning framed!  Signed by Garth Williams lower-right of the art.
