It consists of two sketches of the duel, and two of the ships fighting around the Death Star II rendered in graphite on illustration paper signed by McQuarrie. The artwork is labeled "Return of Jedi" with a sticker and comes in a white matte frame exhibiting stains, tape residue, and plastic tabs on the borders. Dimensions: 16" x 20" (40.75 cm x 51 cm)
