First time to market since it was first sold in the 1980s, this is the original painting created by Whelan for the cover of Piers Anthony's Book 4 of 8 in his "Incarnations of Immortality" series, published by Del Rey, 1986.  (I show the published cover for your reference) Hand painted in oil on wood panel, 36" x 24" with comes custom matted and framed under plexi with a "sight size" of 31.5" x 19" --  signed in Whelan's distinction logo initials bottom right in the image. This is a rare opportunity for you to own a Whelan from the "golden 80s" of illustration.....beautifully rendered.
