(MGM, 1959) An original hand-painted brownline that was used during the production of the classic Charlton Heston film, Ben-Hur. The image depicts a Roman Galley, with various aspects of the front half of the ship listed. Much of the printed brownline has been painted over in acrylic, with notes in ink and pencil on both the front and reverse. The brownline has been adhered to an art board backing and measures 16.75"x15.75". The condition is good with expected edge-wear from age and use, including spots of peeling at the corners and some creasing along the top edge from moisture. There is a nail hole in the top center from previous mounting and some slight tearing around that mark. There are staples in the lower two corners.
