This is an original, hand-drawn sketch by the legendary French comic artist Jean Giraud, widely known as Moebius and also signing as Gir. Created in 2011, the artwork depicts a whimsical, quick-line drawing of a plump, happy chef stirring a pot, executed in the artist's signature effortless and fluid style. The piece measures 8.5" x 12" and is personalized with the inscription "Gir 2011 Pour Christophe" at the bottom, making it a unique dedication piece. Notably, the reverse of the artwork bears an official stamp from Dargaud Editeur dated January 1984, indicating the paper stock originated from a published edition (ISBN 2-205-02622-4) printed in France. While the stamp dates to 1984, the drawing itself was executed in 2011 by the artist. This item is a genuine original sketch by one of the most influential figures in science fiction and comic art, ideal for collectors of Moebius, bande dessinée memorabilia, or original comic art.
