In this playful composition, a wide-eyed baby elephant recoils in theatrical terror at the sight of two tiny mice - his expressive pose and exaggerated features perfectly capturing Zito's signature wit and animation.
Drawn in graphite with crisp detail and soft shading, the piece is a whimsical example of Zito's talent for narrative-driven animal caricature. His illustrations were beloved in mid-century Palm Beach for their clever storytelling and warm sense of humor.
Signed lower right, the drawing is professionally framed in a sleek black wood frame with a white mat and conservation-grade materials - ready to hang and bring character to any space.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century art, animal lovers, or anyone seeking an original piece with both heart and humor.
