Retired Soviet/Russian cosmonaut and Air Force Major General who, in 1965, became the first human to conduct a space walk. Original painting by Leonov, 8 x 9, oil on cold press illustration board, entitled ‘Salyut 1,’ depicting the space station in orbit preparing to dock with a Soyuz space craft, signed in white paint in the lower right corner. Double-suede-matted and framed with a small plaque to an overall size of 18.5 x 22. In very fine condition. Leonov and Valery Kubasov were assigned to Salyut 1, but Kubasov fell ill, and the backup crew sent to Salyut died when an air valve failed in their spacecraft as they were returning to Earth. Leonov is an accomplished, award-winning space artist. A truly one-of-a-kind piece that illustrates the very beginning of long-duration space flight.
