Disney Original drawing - Pocahontas - Disney John Smith disegno originale produzione - 1995

Rare drawing by John Smith used in the production of Disney's classic animation Pocahontas (1995).
The image of John Smith measures approximately 27x23 cm and is made of graphite.
The drawing is on animation paper (43×32 cm), with 5 holes.
The drawing is numbered 195 and signed by the artist John Pomeroy, the character supervising animator.
This drawing is part of the development of a scene that was cut from the film, in which John Smith gives his compass to Pocahontas. In the final version of the film, it is not John Smith who gives his compass to Pocahontas, but it is the raccoon Meeko who steals the compass from John Smith and brings it to Pocahontas.
There is no certificate of authenticity, but the drawing was originally sold on October 8, 2024, at the famous American auction house Howard Lowery; see the last photo.
