Though concept artwork would eventually become an essential component in film production, DeMille was a pioneer in the field. This dynamic painting appears in the book "Cecil B. DeMille: The Art of the Hollywood Epic". Exhibits age, production wear, pin holes, vestiges of tape glue and staining on verso, edge damage (tearing and staining) from previous matting.
