(Disney, 1950s) An original concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Walt Disney's"Sleeping Beauty." Earle was hired by Disney in 1951 as an assistant background painter, working on several productions throughout the early and mid-50s. It was his work on Sleeping Beauty as both concept artist and color stylist that made his mark in Disney history. With an incredible sense of art and design, Earle created what is considered by many to be the high point of Disney animation. This concept of Briar Rose in the forest exemplifies Earle's mastering of layout, color palette and stylization. The piece comes with an Eyvind Earle clipped signature on a separate 8.5"x5.5" page with photo of the artist. Measuring 15"x6.25", the gouache on artists board painting is in fine condition, with light wear to the edges from original handling and use.
