Elisabete Gomes - Ariel & Eric

This beautiful Disney Auctions pin, released in 2006, features a romantic scene from the beloved 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid. The pin depicts Princess Ariel and Prince Eric sharing a quiet moment in a wooden rowboat, surrounded by the iconic fountains of the lagoon as they prepare for their first kiss. This piece is the sixth release in the highly prestigious Elisabete Gomes series, which is renowned among collectors for its painterly, artistic interpretation of classic Disney moments. The pin features a sophisticated design with a Pin on Pin element, adding depth and dimension to the water fountains that frame the couple. Flounder is also present, looking up from the water, capturing the whimsical charm of the film. Given that this was produced by Disney Auctions with a very small Limited Edition 100 run, it is considered a significant grail for fans of Ariel and Eric. The artistry reflects a high-end, gallery-quality aesthetic that distinguishes it from standard park releases. Collectors prize this pin not only for its low edition size but for its unique, stylized representation of one of the most famous scenes in Disney animation history.
