A Bill Martin ”The Egyptian” Courtyard Concept Set Design. - (20th Century-Fox, 1954) A set design concept painting for ”The Egyptian” by future Disney Legend Bill Martin. This Cinemascope Epic set in ancient Egypt called for elaborate sets and costumes, many of which were later used in ”The Ten Commandments.” Martin created this painting of a private courtyard. This may have been his last job for Fox, before accepting a call from Walt Disney in 1953 to work as one of the first Imagineers on Disneyland. Measuring 11” x 25”, the mixed-media painting displays in very good condition with light edge wear and pinholes at the corners that do not affect the image.
