(Walt Disney Studios, 1955) Lovely original panorama concept storyboard painting by Eyvind Earle from Lady and the Tramp, showing the title canines in a romantic park scene as part of the 'Bella Notte' night. With his expert use of color and space, Earle fills the scene magically, making the night come alive above and around the small silhouettes that embrace at the lake’s edge. Gentle light works wonders here, as multicolored lanterns hang dreamily from branches, windows from a house across the water cast their glow, and, like a spotlight on high, the moon sits solemnly between canopies, its soft radiance touching everything below. Accomplished in tempera on 15.5 x 6.25 artist's board, signed in the lower right corner in paint, "Eyvind Earle." In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. Disney artist Eyvind Earle, who later became Sleeping Beauty's production designer, created almost 50 miniature concept sketches for the 'Bella Notte' sequence and was a key contributor to the classic film.
