Old Style


This is not from me. I bought this wonderfully watercoloured piece in an antiquarian bookshop in Milano, last week. I'm not sure if this drawing is just an old children's book illustration or maybe something related to animation. Unfortunately, the artist left no signature or date on it. Anyway, I really like its early animation style and warm colouring.
