“The Apollo 12 Astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean walk across the lunar surface to the Surveyor III spacecraft. The Lunar Module landing site is 1,113 ft. away in the Sea of Storms area. The second extravehicular activity is to retrieve the TV camera off the Surveyor spacecraft returning to the Lunar Module via different routes picking up lunar samples. This is the second U.S. manned lunar landing mission.”
Yet another beautiful work by Craig Kavafes, exercising a little bit of artistic license to capture both vehicles.
Compare to Russell Arasmith's depiction of the same event, using even more artistic license:

Note the Lunar Equipment Conveyor (LEC) on the lunar surface, leading back up the ladder into the Lunar Module. The LEC was used to transfer cargo (primarily lunar samples I believe) & equipment (mostly cameras I think) into and out of the LM. I don't think I've ever seen the LEC depicted in any other LM artwork, but then again, this is Mr. Kavafes.
