Stunning Mary Blair concept art for a classic Walt Disney folktale

(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.
