(Walt Disney Studios, 1955) Original panoramic concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Lady and the Tramp, depicting the two title canines following a park sidewalk that winds through a bridge tunnel, a scene which would inspire the film's romantic 'Bella Notte' sequence. In his distinctive style, Earle captures the nighttime stroll with a charming sense of secrecy and quiet, the night’s stillness broken by the sound of a horse-drawn carriage and its clip-clopping of hooves across the bridge. Earle’s sense of artistic balance is in top form with his placement of the dogs and carriage, the trees and stone bridge, and the gorgeous blue-gray layers of earth and sky, the latter dotted with stars and a bright full moon. Accomplished in tempera on 16 x 6 artist's board, signed in the lower right corner in white paint, "Eyvind Earle." In fine condition. 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. A simply gorgeous original piece of Disney art.
