(Walt Disney Studios, 1946) Original concept painting by Mary Blair for Song of the South, depicting Br'er Fox excitedly running ahead of his oversized partner, Br'er Bear, his hand holding a leash attached to the neck of Br'er Rabbit, who is hopping high into the air. Inspired by a classic folktale as told by Joel Chandler Harris in his 'Uncle Remus' stories, Blair brilliantly executes the Southern scene, capturing a dry and sun-drenched landscape with wild brush and tree snags against a beautiful peach-colored sunset. Accomplished in tempera on 10.5 x 10 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes at corners.
