(Walt Disney Studios, 1952) Original concept painting by Mary Blair for Susie the Little Blue Coupe, which depicts the small passenger car enjoying her drive on an empty city street. Blair loads the scene with various urban attractions—overhead power lines, a fire hydrant, a small white cat, sundry green plants and trees, a large factory, and endless apartment buildings—new and exciting sights for Susie, recently purchased from the car dealership. Accomplished in tempera on 9 x 9 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes at corners. 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.
