Of Bagheera (Damaged - see below). From the 1967 Walt Disney Feature Film. W ith a Charles Scott Gallery Certificate of Authenticity. One of Disney's classics, The Jungle Book was the 19th feature.
This is an amazing cel features Mowgli's protective panther, Bagheera in a stunning full figure pose. The cel is in great condition - the paint area is wavy, as is common in these cels that are 45 years old - though our scanner greatly exaggerates the appearance of the waviness. It appears in the scene around the 39:43 point in the movie (depending on your version - we've shown some screen caps of the scene). It is an untrimmed 16-field cel, measuring 12.5" x 16".
Paint on back has some paper residue from wax paper it was stored against in the past. DAMAGE: part of the paint from his ear is missing and there is paint separation across the top of his head. We've paired it with an 11" x 17" color laser background depicting a scene from the movie. The background image is not as tall as the cel so your mat aperture needs to be smaller than that.
BUT this is an INEXPENSIVE mat we've shown - we recommend matting it yourself. Note: our matted picture view was taken with a camera vs. A scanner, so the lights from the camera have exaggerated the waviness around his head.
However the scanner pictures (no mat) are more accurate for how dark he is. We have 3 cels from this scene. Let us send you an invoice. Once you pay for them we cannot combine them.
