Provenance

Note
Original sketch created for Really Rosie, Maurice Sendak's CBS-TV animation special, in 1975. According to Justin Schiller, this drawing was created "to instruct the animators on the uniqueness of his characters. In 1974 Sendak created a series of pencil studies showing expressions and body language, often annotated with brief commentary. The film premiered on CBS TV on February 19, 1975. Its success led to converting it to a live musical production on stage in 1980 and it has remained ever since in the repertoire of children's musical theatre."
Framed: 12 x 15 in.
Work is fixed to board via two pieces of white tape at top two corners.
