Abstract Marker Drawing on Paper

This item is an abstract drawing executed with various colored markers on a sheet of white paper, likely from a sketchpad given the visible binding at the top. The composition features a dense network of overlapping, mostly curved and some straight, lines in a multitude of colors including dark blue, black, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, and fuchsia. The lines appear to have been drawn with broad-tipped markers, showing distinct strokes and some areas of color saturation where lines intersect or overlap multiple times. The colors are vibrant and exhibit a translucent quality, allowing underlying lines and the white paper to show through in lighter areas. The drawing fills almost the entire page, with lines extending to or nearly to the edges, creating an all-over pattern. There are no discernible specific figures or objects, indicating a purely abstract or non-representational style. The quality of the paper appears to be standard drawing or sketchpad paper, visible in its smooth texture and white base color. There are no visible artist's signatures, dates, or other distinguishing marks. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears, creases, or major discoloration, although ambient lighting conditions make a definitive assessment challenging. The style is reminiscent of modern abstraction, possibly created by a student or an artist exploring line and color dynamics. Its estimated age is contemporary, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
