(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Wonderful original production cel of a mother Pegasus teaching her baby how to fly during the 'Pastoral Symphony' segment of Fantasia, set to Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, in which the Greek mythological creatures gather for a festival to honor Bacchus, the god of agriculture and wine. The cel has been applied to a hand-painted background as prepared by Courvoisier Galleries for sale, which bears two "WDP" stamps to the lower right corner. Total character image measures 10.75 x 5, with a mat opening of 13 x 11. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 19.25 x 17.25; frame backing bears the original Walt Disney Productions label. In very good to fine condition, with some instances of discoloration and lifting to paint, mostly to the wing of the mother.
