A pair of hand-painted Chris Cunningham newborn alien illustrations from the production of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's sci-fi horror sequel Alien: Resurrection. After her death in Alien³, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was revived by the military, who extracted xenomorph genes from her DNA, and created an alien-human hybrid.

These concept illustrations depicting the "Newborn Alien" are the work of the film's character designer, Chris Cunningham. They are rendered in color paint on illustration paper. One of the pieces of paper is white and the other is black and mounted to an illustration board. Both illustrations feature a character with both alien and human physical characteristics. The black illustration is signed on the bottom "CHRIS HALLS 96", which was a pseudonym for the artist. These illustrations are in excellent overall condition with minor wear along their edges and some markings and creases on their backs. Dimensions (largest): 17 1/2" x 12 1/4" (44.5 cm x 31 cm); (smallest): 17" x 11" (43.25 cm x 28 cm)
