Item Description
High quality 11" tall w/bone china figurine atop wood base. Issued in 1994 by Another Rainbow through Connoisseur of Malvern. Donald Duck is depicted in dapper attire w/zircon accent on tie and he holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand and his cane in the other. One of Donald's nephews serves him as a shoe shine boy. One side of the shoe shine kit has gold Barks signature applied just before the final firing. Based on his 1975 painting "Dude For A Day." Limited edition of 100 produced, but of those 100, only 75 remain, as 25 were destroyed in an arranged agreement between Another Rainbow and The Walt Disney Company. Disney oversaw the destruction of these items. Does not come in original box (which was generic) but Mint as issued. This is 17/100 as noted by 15x17.75" framed and double-matted lithograph of the "Dude For A Day" painting. Hand-numbered, titled and hand-signed by Barks. Also included is "Carl Barks And The Disney Ducks" book published by Another Rainbow which has matching "17/100" edition number. Mint as issued. Comes w/Another Rainbow folder brochure noting the original purchase price of figurines 11-99 was $7,300. An exquisite figurine and matching lithograph display that rarely comes to market.
