• Hand Signed by the Artist • Unique Original Artwork from the "Inspired By" Collection • Certificate of Authenticity Included • Ready to Frame Painted around 1580 and today one of the treasures of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, El Greco's "The Nobleman with His Hand on His Chest" is one of the most famous portraits of the Spanish Golden Age: a mysterious gentleman dressed in black, with a white ruff, a golden sword and his hand solemnly placed on his heart, as if taking an oath. In this sophisticated reinterpretation, veteran Disney artist Tony Fernandez gives the role to Uncle Scrooge, and the gesture takes on a whole new meaning. The hand on the chest is still there, but now it presses a dollar bill against his heart. Because for Scrooge, there is only one oath that truly matters. Tony faithfully recreates the essence of the original: the deep, muted background, the dramatic light, the black doublet, the lace ruff and cuffs and the gilded sword hilt, while Scrooge's melancholic gaze, his pince-nez glasses and his white sideburns bring all the humour and personality of Disney's richest duck. Painted in acrylic on art paper with a refined, museum-like palette, the piece is an elegant meeting between the great Spanish painting tradition and one of the most beloved characters in comic history. ▸ Acrylic on art paper ▸ Format: 27 x 23 cm (unframed) Tony Fernandez is a veteran Disney artist who has been drawing Disney's most beloved characters for more than 35 years and continues to work for Disney in Europe today.
