Description
Richard Hescox - Fantasy Paperback Cover Preliminary Study Original Art (undated). This small study piece would have been prepared before a larger full-size painting would have been attempted. This eye-catching piece features a Samurai and a dragon, created gouache on illustration board.

Speaking with the artist about this piece, he stated this was one of three prelims he did for the publisher who ultimately wanted to go with the version with a closer view of the dragon. It Richard always liked this piece and wanted to do a full painting one day.

Signed in the lower right margin under the 4.25" x 7" image area. There is a stain in the upper right corner. Matted to 8" x 10". In Very Good condition.

You can see in this raw piece what Hescox wanted to stand out in the final painting.  All the ideas are on this including the clever composition putting an X as the dragon overhead of the main character.
