(Walt Disney Studios, 1950) Marvelous original panoramic concept storyboard painting by Mary Blair featuring Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. The scene shows the magical horse-drawn carriage traveling to the palace for the royal ball, which occurs mere moments after the 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo' song sequence when Cinderella’s godmother transforms a pumpkin into a gleaming royal coach — her magic spell is still visible around the carriage. The large painting offers an impressively detailed, wide-angle scene, with Blair decorating the landscape and night sky with cottages and trees, a bright full moon, and an array of dazzling stars. Accomplished in tempera and watercolor on a 22.75 x 9 illustration board. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. A stylish oversized piece from the hand of one of Disney's master concept painters.
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.
