(Walt Disney Studios, 1950) Original concept painting by Mary Blair showing Cinderella and Prince Charming from Cinderella. Accomplished in tempera on a 7 x 6 illustration board, the scene portrays the pair holding hands in a checkerboard courtyard at the top of a castle, the light of a cloud-covered moon revealing watchtowers and vines running the length of the parapets, and the work’s balance of whites, grays, and purples lending the scene an ethereal and dreamlike quality. Matted and framed to an overall size of 13.5 x 12.5. In fine condition.
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.
