CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) - Ron Cobb Hand-Drawn Raider Commander Artwork
Hand-drawn artwork depicting the raider commander from John Milius’ action adventure Conan the Barbarian. Rendered by production designer Ron Cobb, the illustration depicts an early concept for the raiders who massacred Conan’s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) village at the start of the film.

Drawn with pastels and water colours on illustration paper , the mixed media artwork shows a menacing warrior wearing an angular helmet and a bone necklace, while brandishing a sword and shield. Although the design for the raiders ultimately changed, the helmet design was kept for the raider commander.

The piece is taped around the perimeter to an illustration board that is painted with a brown wash on the front and back. While most of the tape has peeled away, the artwork remains adhered to the illustration board. The board shows minor wear due to use and age, with tack holes at the corners and tape residue around the perimeter. However, the artwork remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (artwork): 67 cm x 38 cm (26 ½” x 15”); (illustration board): 71 cm x 49 cm x 1 cm (28” x 19 ¼” x ¼”)
