A development painting from the Nepenthe Studios animated cult classic "Watership Down" (1978).

These concepts appear to be from testing how various mediums would conveys the film’s look. Measuring 10.5”x13” overall, with the character image measuring 6.25”x7.75”, the development painting is in very good condition with light edge and corner wear, minor stains around the bottom edge of the sheet, and notable rippling and creasing caused by the watercolor medium.
