A finely rendered graphite and charcoal drawing depicting a long-necked wading bird in quiet profile, crowned by a delicately poised butterfly. The contrast between the bird’s dense, textured plumage and the butterfly’s translucent wings creates a contemplative balance between weight and lightness, stillness and motion. The monochrome palette emphasizes form, detail, and atmosphere, lending the piece a timeless, meditative quality.
