Original Peacock Drawing in Colored Pencil and Graphite

This is an original hand-drawn artwork featuring a profile view of a peacock standing against a background of simplified tree silhouettes. The piece is executed on a rectangular sheet of white paper, likely medium-weight cardstock or drawing paper. The primary subject is rendered in colored pencil, utilizing a palette of cerulean and cobalt blues for the neck and body, earthy browns for the wings, and varying shades of green and yellow for the tail feathers. Graphite or light brown pencil is used for the surrounding background elements. The peacock's anatomy includes a fan-shaped crest, a white facial patch around the eye, and a long tail trailing downward with several 'eye' spots visible. The style appears to be contemporary folk art or student-level illustration. The background trees are rendered with light, sketchy vertical strokes, providing a minimal environmental context. There is no visible artist signature or date on the front of the work. The paper appears to be in relatively good condition, though there are slight shadows in the photograph that may indicate minor undulating across the surface, common with unframed paper works. The craftsmanship displays a focus on texture through short, repetitive pencil strokes to simulate feathers, particularly on the bird's chest and lower body.
