The artwork was painted for use in one-sheet posters promoting the film, but ultimately went unused in favor of a different design. The artwork is rendered in paint on illustration board and depicts Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) with elves Thisbe (Patty Maloney) and Pyramus (Buddy Douglas) flying over rooftops in a sleigh with presents spilling out the back. The painting is signed "JD 88." A clear plastic sheet is held over the front of the painting by white gaffer's tape at the top of the board to protect the painting. It is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from age. Dimensions: 30" x 20.5" x 0.5" (76.25 cm x 52.25 cm x 1.5 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
