This classic animation layout drawing is from "Thru the Mirror" (1936) and is familiar to many from Christopher Finch's fine book The Art of Walt Disney. As a result of this, perhaps, taken with the presence of a sleeping but very recognizable Mickey Mouse and the finished state of the artwork, the sale price is rather hefty, although well within the published estimate.
