(Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Stunning original panoramic concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty, which depicts Princess Aurora seated and crying at her chamber mirror mere moments before becoming entranced by the powerful Maleficent, who leads her into an upper tower and the accursed spinning wheel. In trademark Earle fashion, the scene is expertly realized with both rich detail and vibrant color: the stone walls, paintings, drapery, and furniture offer texture and balance with touches of blue, orange, green, and purple cutting across the room’s overall gray expression. The appearance of Maleficent, pictured here as a small orb of light, is likewise deftly handled, adding a further touch of mystique and radiance to the room’s otherwise morose interior. Accomplished in gouache on 16 x 6 artist's board, signed in the lower right corner in pink paint by Earle. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners.
