A piece of hand-drawn artwork depicting the Mondoshawans from Luc Besson's sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element. Illustrated by concept artist Sylvain Despretz, the artwork features two images of the moment the Mondoshawan aliens exited their ship and entered the ancient Egyptian temple at the beginning of the film.

The artwork has been rendered in a combination of watercolor and acrylic paints on white card. A fine black pen has been used for outlining. The piece titled "Sheridan Hatch (Frontal View)" consists of an incorporated printed section on the right side with additional paint applied to create symmetry.

Both images have been signed by Sylvain and the lot displays minor wear including dirt marks, creasing and the bottom right corner of the card has bent slightly.
