Carl Barks - King Beowulf Drawing Orig. Art
<B>Carl Barks - King Beowulf Drawing Original Art (Carl Barks, 1978).</B></I> This bombastic Carl Barks ink drawing on vellum was created as use for an ad campaign to tout Barks' own series of lithographs based on oil paintings using the theme of "Kings and Queens in Myth and Legend." Beowulf, King of the Geats, in his final battle, rides bareback on a fire-breathing dragon, high above his fleeing warriors. This original ink drawing was framed and a three-color film overlay was aligned with the drawing to create a striking full-color image. The drawing has an approximate image area of 16" x 20". Barks has signed the drawing at the lower right, and the art is in Excellent condition. Carl Barks had a knack for portraying whimsical dragons and often featured them in his Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories -- the "good duck" artist was also a "good dragon" artist! <I>From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
