This is an original art drawing of what appears to be Samwise Gamgee (Sam), featuring a great shot of everyone's favorite hobbit! It was done circa 1978 for the production of the legendary Ralph Bakshi cult-classic animated Lord Of The Rings film. It is a great production drawing with an outstanding straight-on camera-facing image with wonderfully expressive detail, done in pencil and blue pencil, and there is animator production numbering that likely indicates the scene this would have been prepared for. The full sheet measures approximately 12 1/2" by 10 1/2", and is standard 3-peghole animation paper (1 round, 2 rectangular). This is an outstanding rare vintage LOTR piece, and a magnificent example to own featuring one of the most beloved and famous characters in the history of books, animation, and movies. Clearly this amazing fantasy story of good and evil, and hobbits, dwarves, elves, and wizards in a far-off land from long ago holds a very special place in the hearts of many, and if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, then this may be the most special item you could want to have. While many people may have toys of the characters, how many actually have an original hand-drawn piece from the creation of one of the landmark films from this legendary franchise? It would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed, and would be a treasured collectible and key addition to the collection of any true LOTR fan.
