Painting, Brushed Ink on Paper, ONE VIEW OF THE LM ORION
Ink and pencil painting on paper. One View of the LM "Orion," 23 April 1972. A page from a spiral-bound sketchbook. Three horizontal layers comprise this image. In the top left is the lunar module (LM) Orion against a dark blue background. The middle section is much larger and spans the width of the page. It is a predominantly green moonscape with two astronauts on the left and some details of the moon's surface on the right. In the lower right are two astronauts standing at the base of the lunar module against a vivid blue background. The text below the lower left corner of the middle image reads: "Composition of two live TV sequences from the moon and the graphic display of the path of the command module shown on a map of the moon." Text in the lower left corner reads: "Apollo 16 EVA II and preparations for "Orion's" liftoff from the moon's surface. 23 April 72 Goddard Spaceflight Center." Text in the lower right corner reads: "Stowing away the rocks and pictures before positioning the rover for the LM take-off."
