A framed Y-wing concept sketch hand-drawn by Ralph McQuarrie from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. McQuarrie worked on the film in multiple capacities, including designing several iconic vehicles during pre-production.

This sketch was done circa early 1976 after production shifted the rebel hangar indoors. It consists of four thumbnail sketches depicting different views of Y-wings in their hangars rendered in graphite and red pencil on illustration paper signed by McQuarrie and numbered "18." The paper comes mounted behind glass below a color photograph of McQuarrie illustrating in a custom black wood frame with metal hanging brackets on the reverse. There exhibits a white stain on the front of the glass from handling. Dimensions (framed): 16.5" x 22.5" x 1" (41 cm x 57.25 cm x 2.5 cm)

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