(Walt Disney Studios, 1955) Beautiful original panoramic concept storyboard painting by Eyvind Earle from Lady and the Tramp, depicting Lady and Tramp sharing a quiet stroll through a moonlit city park during the beloved 'Bella Notte' sequence. Rendered in Earle's richly decorative style, the composition centers on a softly illuminated fountain surrounded by pathways, trees, glowing lampposts, and a distant skyline beneath a star-filled night. The two dogs appear at left, isolated within the expansive landscape, their small scale reinforcing the intimacy of the romantic evening amid the grandeur of the park.
Earle's masterful use of flattened forms, decorative foliage, and restrained color harmonies creates a scene that is both stylized and deeply atmospheric, conveying the tranquil magic that defined one of Disney's most memorable romantic moments. Accomplished in tempera on a 21.25 x 9.25 artist's board, signed in the lower right corner in light blue paint by Earle. In fine condition, with tack holes to the corners. Disney artist Eyvind Earle, who later became Sleeping Beauty's production designer, created nearly 50 miniature concept paintings for the 'Bella Notte' sequence, helping establish the distinctive visual language of one of Lady and the Tramp's most iconic scenes.
