This master scene drawing depicts a Pterodactyl attacking a woman on the Temple steps and was utilized in a pivotal scene from King Kong, when Kong brings Ann Darrow to his mountaintop lair and she is attacked by a Pterodactyl on the cliff outside the cave. Accomplished in watercolor and graphite on board, it measures 24 ¾ in. x 30 ¼ in. (image measures 18 in. x 24 in). Signed at the lower right by Mario Larrinaga and Willis O’Brien. This represents the genesis of the legendary King Kong which would become one of the greatest milestones in film history.
