“Artist Concept - Shuttle on 747 piggyback.”
With that kind of in-depth, well-articulated word picture, I'm guessing this is of NASA origin. Loosely supported by the lack of a signature.
A really really nice work by Boeing artist/illustrator Bart Hunt. Even at just a minimal/moderate distance, it legitimately looks like a photograph.
The numeral 7 on the orbiter possibly reflects the optimism of the size of the shuttle fleet, along with the mundane identification one would ascribe based on the expectation of numerous & routine missions.
