Description
Eyvind Earle - Sleeping Beauty Briar Rose and Castle 22.5" x 10" Signed Concept/Color Key Painting (Walt Disney, 1959). Briar Rose with her flower basket emerges from the forest to gaze upon the royal castle in this exceptional masterpiece from Walt Disney's timeless classic Sleeping Beauty. Expertly crafted by the hand of Disney Legend inductee Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000), this piece is rich in detail, featuring the title character amid the eye-catching bark textures of the trees, brightly colored castle, and geometric elements of the terrain and flora. All in the style for which Eyvind Earle is widely recognized. The high-contrast, modular approach in the design of Sleeping Beauty's environments and characters helped distinguish it from Disney's earlier films. This relatively large 22.5" x 10" painting by Earle checks a lot of boxes for collectors with a full-figure 4" tall image of Briar Rose just left of center and the bright white castle replete with flying buttresses in the distance. The dramatic transition from dark to light and magnificent examples of his signature trees make this incredible composition a standout Sleeping Beauty and Eyvind Earle treasure. It is hand-painted in gouache on board and signed by Eyvind Earle in the lower right corner. Minor handling and edge wear and pinholes at the edges, condition for this 65-year-old painting is Very Good.Auction Info
