A Mischievous Sketch (1907)
A Mischievous Sketch (1907)
Overview
An easel appears, and soon after a canvas "walks" up from the floor of its own accord and takes its place on the easel. Now an artist's portfolio is seen, it opens up and different parts of a sketch which are enclosed therein, mysteriously fly from it upon the canvas until finally all the parts resemble the image of a man. When completed, the picture becomes animated and comes down upon the ground and engages in some merry antics with its own skeleton which shortly after is changed into a lady. After frolicking around for an interval, the man is changed to a sketch on the canvas; then it begins to dismember itself, one portion at the time. After all the parts of the sketch are in the portfolio, it folds itself up; then the animated person appears from some mysterious source and carries off the portfolio in which his own image is enclosed.
