Preliminary art for Ballantine/Del Ray sci-fi anthology The Best Of Leigh Brackett, this scene is entitled "Enchantress Of Venus" at lower left. 1977.

Margins have some surface paper lifts at top and right corners have small pieces of masking tape. Back of artboard has some lt. tape staining at margins, but this does not affect front. Art remains clean and could be matted for Exc. display. Comes w/signed limited edition portfolio booklet, in which this preliminary art was published beside Vallejo's finished art as it was published for the book.
