Description

From THE ADVENTURES of ICHABOD and MR.TOAD (1949). The second half of the movie relates the tale of THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW introduced by Washington Irving over 200 years ago. Bing Crosby sings and narrates the "Ichabod" story. Here we see widely superstitious Ichabod as the Headless Horseman throws the jack-o'-lantern straight at his head. "The following morning; all that's left at the scene of the incident is a smashed pumpkin, and Ichabod's hat lying on the ground. It was rumored that Ichabod merely moved away and started life anew in a nearby town, married to a local widow, but the residents of Sleepy Hollow know better.
Mary Blair was all about interpretation of color. Her incredible talent is evident in this stylized concept painting of that meeting on Halloween Night. The combination of black ghost-like sky and full moon night, set against the glow of a thrown flaming pumpkin and awash with blues and muted reds make for a true masterpiece. Matted with an opening size of 19"x 8"; framed for an overall size of 28"x 16.5".
