AD&D TSR Dragon Magazine SIGNED Janny Wurts Original Fantasy Art Sketch

Description

About the item:
This original art, drawn by hand by Janny Wurts, is the finished artwork that, according to Wurts, is an image she created for Dragon Magazine, though I am unsure what issue it appeared in (if anybody knows, I would appreciate hearing from you).  It measures approximately 8 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches. Please note- the sketch is real. It is the actual, hand-drawn artwork of Wurts.  It is not a pre-printed image, copy or print. It is a one-of-a-kind original and it is also signed by Wurts.  It has been in the artists personal files nearly 40 years and is slightly yellowing with age (see scan for full details as to condition).  Please see below for important information regarding COA's.
