Dragon Ball Z Original Production Cel: Son Goku

This item is identified as an original production cel artwork featuring Son Goku from the anime series 'Dragon Ball Z'. The cel depicts a close-up of Goku in his Super Saiyan form, characterized by his distinctive spiky golden hair and intense facial expression. The background image appears to be original, as specified by the text. The overall composition shows Goku's head and shoulders, with his face looking upwards from the bottom right of the frame, suggesting a dynamic, non-frontal perspective. The artwork is presented within a white mat and a light-brown, possibly wooden, frame with a visible grain texture, protecting the cel itself. The cel measures approximately 230mm x 265mm (9.1" x 10.4"). It is noted as an original celluloid from the broadcast years 1989-1996, produced by Toei Video. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed linework and vibrant color application typical of hand-painted animation cels from this era. Condition-wise, the cel and background appear well-preserved, with no obvious signs of significant damage such as tears, fading, or peeling visible through the framing. The vibrant, clean colors indicate good preservation of the original pigments. Original production cels are considered unique due to their use in the actual animation process.
