Description

Original concept painting for the 'Whistle While You Work' scene

(Walt Disney Studios, 1937) Brilliant original concept painting by Frank Follmer for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, showing the title character holding a broom and dirty sock as she cleans the dwarfs cottage during the classic 'Whistle While You Work' scene. Accomplished in gouache on an 18 x 11 artist sheet, and signed in the lower right corner in pencil by Follmer. In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of a 1997 letter from the Disney Archives attesting to Follmer's role at Disney. Follmer worked at Walt Disney Studios from the late 1930s through the early 1940s, assisting on projects like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Fantasia. He alienated Walt Disney when he organized a strike against the studio, and ultimately left to join the Navy. Learn more about our Animation Expert, Harry Kleiman.
