AN ORIGINAL GARTH WILLIAMS STUNNING DETAILED SKETCH:

This listing is for a large original detailed art. The piece is in excellent condition rendered in graphite on paper and depicts the girl holding one of the mice in her palm and looking upward. The full sheet measures 11" x 8".  The final artwork from this book series was rendered in ink as shown above, with most selling for $1500-$2000 at auction, so the preliminary sketch in graphite is a beautiful affordable alternative. 

This piece is INTIALED by Garth Williams bottom left.

Provenance: The sheet was purchased with a group of preliminary sketches from an auction house, who in turn acquired these pieces direct from the estate of Garth Williams. Each piece is an original and sold directly from his estate. A copy of the invoice and lot description will be included with each piece.

The art is in excellent condition and would be stunning framed.
