Hello all,

I am looking for information about 2 very nice (I think they are cells ) paintings/prints , well, I don't really know, by Donald Duck. ...I bought them through an auction and I can't find anything more about them than that they probably date from the 1930s ...they are framed in separate wooden frames ..it concerns 2x Donald Duck with a stubborn donkey in a stable ... in one picture Donald pulls the rope to get the donkey and in the other picture he pushes the donkey ..

....I've already asked an administrator of CW, but he couldn't make much more of it than that he found the use of color (light/dark brown.mainly) a bit different for that time....?!

I'd love to add photos but I don't know how to do that here...

Anyone have any idea what I mean and where I can find info?

Thanks in advance !!

I would say first place here, then you can also add a photo, then it can always be added if it is not the right place

30 Years? DD actually became known in the early 40s, most prints and paintings by Barks are therefore much later

The second is now number 5781375

In any case, it is not a cell, because the cartoons were made of it and that is always on transparent plastic. What you sometimes see is a drawing with the plastic line layer over it, but that is not a cell either. Then it is almost a film cell.

When I look at the drawing and the colors like that, it looks like a drawing from French soil. The French had the right to Disney drawings very early on and the colors they used are very similar. They also use those brownish colors for the postcards and those cards date from the 1940s (has yet to introduce them). And Baronselderie-5 is right that they date from at least after 1934, when Donald Duck first appeared in a cartoon.

The image could come from Don Donald where Donald Duck in Spain Doña Duck tries to decorate on his easel.

When I look at the drawing this way, this seems to me to be a very good reproduction, because there was a period when many old Disney cartoon scenes were re-released. You could also get them at poster stores.

Hi ... you are right ... they are from the 1940s !! Mistake ... and they are not cells, but paintings (oil paint) .... they are in any case original and therefore not, as Disneymeentwijc says, reproductions ... signed by Leroy ...?!

If they were reproductions, they weren't that expensive and were not sold at auction but indeed in a poster shop!

Anyway thanks for the info and hopefully I will find more about these paintings ... the possibly. value for example ...?

;-)

what is expensive and also bought at an auction does not really mean but at least there was once a leroy who worked in the disney studios
