Elusive Yen Sid concept artwork from Fantasia—an uncanny depiction of one of Disney’s most enigmatic creations

(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Rare original concept painting of Yen Sid from the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' segment of Fantasia, showing the powerful sorcerer in an imposing half-length pose with large intense eyes and a glowing orange beard, his left hand gripping a wooden staff, and his head peaked with his magical spired hat. The element of light surrounding the splayed fingers of his right hand suggests that the sorcerer may be performing a spell. Accomplished in gouache on black 6.75 x 6.75 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. Yen Sid remains rare across all early Disney production formats, with this early concept painting proffering an entirely uncommon and unique representation of one of Disney’s most mysterious characters.
