Description

Frank Frazetta Fire and Ice Hand-Painted and Signed Caveman Maquette (c. 1982). Here is a real treat for the discerning Frank Frazetta fan! A hand-painted artists maquette of the bust of a caveman, produced for the Ralph Bakshi feature film Fire and Ice, that comes directly from Frazetta's personal collection. Frazetta was responsible for the character development for the film. About this statue, Frank Frazetta Jr. notes, "...a rare, one of a kind Caveman sculpture that my father did for the Fire and Ice film. There were a total of 50 sets created. Most were given to the artists for reference, but only two sets were ever hand-painted, this is the caveman head, painted by my father and hand-signed in white paint, on the rear lower base." The piece has actually been signed by Frazetta three times, once in the front in black marker, once on the back in black marker, and once on the back in white paint, over the black marker signature. The handsome bust measures approximately 6.75" tall, and the base measures 4.25" x 3.5". In Excellent condition. From the Frank Frazetta Estate.
