An ink and wash drawing depicting a rocket testing scene. Two uniformed figures stand in the foreground, observing a pair of rockets marked “USSR” on a launch structure. The composition is rendered with Jensen’s characteristic economy — a few confident strokes establish the figures, while loose tonal wash builds the atmosphere of the setting.

The drawing is signed by the artist.

This is an early work from John Jensen’s time associated with the London Evening News, confirmed as his in direct correspondence with the artist prior to his passing.
