A preliminary concept sketch of "Mary Poppins" hand-drawn by Tony Walton for the production of Robert Stevenson's family musical Mary Poppins. Magical nanny Poppins (Julie Andrews) took the children in her care on a series of fantastical adventures, including one on a rooftop with a group of chimney sweeps.

This drawing was rendered in ink on illustration paper by costume designer Tony Walton during pre-production. It depicts an iteration of Poppins in her signature hat and long flowing skirt with her signature parrot-head umbrella in one hand and carpet bag in the other. The paper is hand-labeled "CHIMNEY SEQUENCE" and "MARY POPPINS". The illustration has been set in a poster board border with a backing. It exhibits signs of wear from age and use including some creasing throughout. Dimensions: 56.5 cm x 45 cm (22¼" x 17¾")
