“Jupiter Mission: Pioneer Galileo Entry Probe Artwork (heatshield separation)
Artist: C Kallas
(JPL ref: 4S30599)”
Since the JPL is cited, it’s possibly their ‘original’ caption associated with the image? At:

Also, which may be THE original Hughes Aircraft Company caption:
“Artistic impression of the Galileo atmospheric probe as it would enter the atmosphere of Jupiter.”

Additionally, what was likely an oft-reproduced press slug for the re-issue of the photo upon Galileo’s arrival at Jupiter:
“On Dec. 7, 1995, more than six years after its launch, the Galileo spacecraft’s probe, shown in this 1989 artist’s rendering, will parachute down through the 28,000 mph winds of Jupiter to become the first manmade object to touch an outer planet.”
8.375” x 11”.
A beautiful & rich work by Chris Kallas, another eminently talented - yet excruciatingly enigmatic artist - with minimal attribution provided him. As such, there’s nary a trace, history or record available, despite at least a smattering of admirable works 'appropriated' by JPL/ARC.
Based upon this image and the linked works, Mr. Kallas’ would appear to have been employed by/contracted to Hughes Aircraft Company, being the manufacturer of the items ‘featured’ in the images.
Finally, and check this out...the plethora, variety and diversity of artist’s concepts depicting the Galileo probe’s deployment, atmospheric entry & parachute descent is quite surprising! Seriously, click on the following link:
