(Walt Disney Studios, 1951) Beautiful original concept storyboard painting by Mary Blair for Alice in Wonderland, showing Alice and the Cheshire Cat seated in a tree. Alice first encounters the grinning cat during her moonlit stroll through Tulgey Wood, with this beautifully rendered painting, perfectly executed by Blair in hues of purple, blue, and black, showing Alice listening attentively to the advice of the mischievous feline. Accomplished in tempera on 10.75 x 9.75 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes at corners. A marvelous example of Mary Blair's original artwork, portraying two of Disney's most desirable characters.
Mary 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.
