Description

Original painting by mankind's first spacewalker, Alexei Leonov, honoring women's contributions to the global space effort

Extraordinary original painting entitled 'Seagull' by cosmonaut-turned-artist Alexei Leonov, depicting Valentina Tereshkova in space with numerous seagulls flying about, accomplished in gouache on a 28.5 x 14 cardstock sheet, signed in the lower right corner in white paint by Alexei Leonov, and dated "93." This particular image not only commemorates Tereshkova's flight, but the 11 seagulls represent the number of American women that had been in space at the time it was painted. 'Seagull' was Tereshkova's chosen call sign during her mission. This stunning original piece was popularly reproduced as a limited edition print by Star Press Publications. In fine condition.
