Peter Pan (1953) 
original production animation drawing
brown and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 9.5" x 5.25"

This original rough animation drawing of Mrs. Darling, mother of Wendy, Michael and John, was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in Walt Disney's animated feature of J. M. Barrie's classic story. Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of this scene, and the brown pencil in this drawing is undoubtedly his work. In the Darling family nursery her husband George shouts "Mary, look!" when he sees that John and Michael have drawn a map of Never Land on his shirt front. She turns to look at him and exclaim "George!" in response. The animator wrote the designation "3" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene
