A hand-painted Ron Cobb shipwreck concept illustration from the production of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In the 1979 Special Edition version, scientist Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffaut) visited a tanker, the SS Cotopaxi, which he believed was stranded by extraterrestrials.

This hand-drawn concept art painting of visitors at the shipwreck is the work of concept artist Ron Cobb. It is rendered in mixed media on illustration board labeled "CE3K" and signed "RCOBB." It is in good overall condition with minimal wear from use and age, including wear along its edges and stains on the back of the board from use during pre-production. Dimensions: 20" x 28.5" x 0.75" (51 cm x 72.5 cm x 1.5 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
