It is unbelievable that there has been only one comment on this fabulous piece. It is clearly one of the best, if not the very best, works by Nielsen, and Nielsen was one of the best story/inspirational artists who ever worked at Disney's studio. Well, I think that this is clearly one of the finest pieces of ALL art on CAF.
