(Walt Disney Studios, 1951) Appealing original concept painting by Mary Blair of Alice encountering the strange creatures in Alice in Wonderland's perplexing Tulgey Wood. Accomplished in tempera on 10.25 x 9.25 artist's board, the scene vividly depicts Alice in her blue-and-white dress, as birds, frogs, and plants gaze at her in shock and awe. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners and some soiling to borders.
Blair was a concept artist for Disney during the 1940s and early 1950s, working on designs for such films as Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland. She also created designs for several Disney attractions (including It's a Small World), and her largest work ever, the multi-story mosaic in Disney World's Contemporary Hotel concourse.
