Hand-painted alien ship lighting VFX concept illustrations from the production of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The mysterious extraterrestrial vessels in the film featured elaborate patterns of multicolored lights throughout their hulls.

Rendered in paint onto a single illustration board, possibly by production illustrator George Jensen, the piece includes three hand-painted frames of colored lights against black sky labeled "1. Front," "2. Top," and "3. Bottom." Next to the painted concepts are three pencil sketches of the craft. The piece is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from use and age, including pinholes in the corners from mounting during production. Dimensions: 16 1/4" x 14" (41.5 cm x 35.75 cm)
