Artist's impression

Drawing of an object or a scene when no accurate representation is available

Not to be confused with Impressionism in art or Artistic rendering.

An artist's impression, artist's conception, artist's interpretation, or artist's rendition is the representation of an object or a scene created by an artist when no other accurate representation is available. It could be an image, a sound, a video or a model. Artist's impressions are often created to represent concepts and objects that cannot be seen by the naked eye; that are very big, very small, in the past, in the future, fictional, or otherwise abstract. For example, in architecture, artists' impressions are used to showcase the design of planned buildings and associated landscape.[1] Artists' impressions are particularly prominent in space art.[2] Artist's depictions of prehistoric life are known as paleoart.
