6 x Original watercolour panels painted by Virginio Livraghi in 1960 for a ‘Leo The Friendly Lion’ comic strip published in ‘Playhour’.

Considered one of the masters of anthropomorphic character painting, Livraghi’s incredibly fine brush work is a joy to behold, showing up even more beautifully over his beautiful dreamlike watercolour backgrounds.

Working for the famed Italian agency ‘Creazioni Dami’, Livraghi only painted for this strip for around one year from 1960-1961, after which another artist, Bert Felstead took over the strip with a less refined style. Fortunately for us, Livraghi reappeared on the scene to paint for a series of ‘Brer Rabbit’ stories which appeared in Once Upon A Time Magazine.

Livraghi also painted for interpretations of Pinocchio, Snow White, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Isobel St Vincent’s Penny Pullet and Maria Pia Pezzi’s Curly Pig

Note the final piece has some creases visible on the photos.
