This exceptional original artwork by Jaume Esteve brings Mickey and Minnie Mouse into one of the most unforgettable scenes in silent cinema, paying tribute to Harold Lloyd’s legendary rooftop sequence from Safety Last! (1923).
Mickey takes centre stage in a spectacular balancing act high above the city, while Minnie watches from the rooftop behind him. The dramatic perspective, architectural setting and sense of vertigo recreate the spirit of the famous cinematic image, transformed here into an imaginative encounter between classic Disney and the golden age of silent film.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the piece is Esteve’s extraordinary pencil technique. The architectural precision, perfectly controlled outlines and deep tonal areas are so clean that the image can almost appear digitally rendered at first sight. Looking closely at the physical original reveals something entirely different: the pressure of the graphite, subtle variations in tone and the unmistakable trace of the artist’s hand.
This contrast between almost graphic perfection and the sensitivity of traditional pencil drawing gives the piece its unique character. From Mickey’s expressive pose to the distant skyline, every element has been individually drawn, creating an original that rewards both an immediate glance and close observation.
