(Disney, c.1963) A large original painting created by art director and set designer, Tony Walton. Walton designed for theater in the 1950s and 1960s before beginning his debut into motion pictures as a costume designer and visual consultant on "Mary Poppins". This painting was created by Walton as a preliminary painting for the iconic "chimney sweep" scene on the rooftops of London. Accomplished in gouache and ink on paper, the painting beautifully captures the sky-line as depicted in the final film, and the characters Mary Poppins, Bert, and the two children are featured in this artwork. Walton signed the bottom-right corner, and the bottom-edge is inscribed with the production's details including "Mary Poppins" and "Rooftop Sequence". The painting is matted to an image size of 19.25"x27.75" within its 29.5"x37.5" frame. The artwork has been unexamined out of frame, but appears to be in very fine condition with little wear.
