[Actually, I believe ‘Neil’ has just removed the S- Band antenna from Quadrant I of the descent stage in the image. Its stowage compartment and discarded cover are visible to the right of the ladder.]
I’d expect the artwork to be by Craig Kavafes, but that signature is atypical.

Artist unknown. Note the squat appearance of the Lunar Module, possibly after a hard landing, as evidenced by collapsed struts. In fact the LMDE bell/skirt seems to be in contact with the the surface and even a little crumpled at the point of contact.
