Disney Pinocchio 1939 Jiminy Cricket Courvoisier Original production cel hand

This is an absolutely beautiful Jiminy Cricket Original Production Cel mounted and set up by Courvoisier in 1939 and used in the animated film "Pinocchio" (Walt Disney, 1940). Exclaims a grateful Jiminy after receiving his new set of duds. It's in this scene at the 18:16-18:19 mark when Jiminy is bestowed with the title of "Pinocchio's Conscience" by the Blue Fairy. This is an original hand-inked, hand-painted production cel of the beloved character actually used in a key scene in Disney's second animated feature.

It's a magnificent Courvoisier setup featuring an ideal full-figure sweet-faced Jiminy with colors as stunning as the day they were painted. (Please note that the light spots and dark areas in some of the photos are just reflections on the very glossy front of the piece, and are not defects on the frame or piece itself). (one of only two cels of which we are aware, from Pinocchio, where Courvoisier did this). This Courvoisier setup features meticulously trimmed cels placed over a custom airbrush background and comes with its original Courvoisier Certificate of Authenticity from 1939 (also in amazing condition for an 85 year old certificate; see photo) mounted to the back of a wood/ glass gallery frame.

Which is missing 2 sides of the wood.. Truly magnificent piece of original production art that has been carefully displayed in a temperature and light-controlled (and non-smoking) room/house. The frame measures 15.5" x15.5" with a cel opening window of 5.25" x 5.25". There are other production cels of Jiminy from the original Pinocchio film, but very few capture his sweet face and the countenance with which we are so familiar and love, in such a vibrant, close and full-body manner.
