Pen and Ink Lighthouse Illustration in Spiral Sketchbook
This item is an original illustrative drawing of a lighthouse coastal scene, executed in black ink on off-white or cream-colored paper. The artwork is contained within a portrait-oriented, side-bound spiral sketchbook featuring a black plastic or metal double-coil binding. The drawing displays a central, multi-tiered lighthouse structure perched atop jagged rock formations, surrounded by billowing cloud-like forms and a horizontal representation of water in the foreground. The technique utilizes varying densities of cross-hatching, vertical line work, and solid black fills to create contrast, depth, and texture. Notable features include a stylized signature in the lower right corner that appears to read 'Yohann'. The composition suggests a contemporary amateur or student-level work, given the pen-based hatching styles and the medium. The paper shows slight texture and the ink appears to be from a fine-liner or technical pen, similar to the Hauser Germany pen seen resting adjacent to the book. The condition is excellent with no visible tears or significant smudging, though the sketchbook pages show standard minor edge wear consistent with handling. The overall aesthetic is monochromatic and leans toward a graphic, illustrative style often found in personal art journals or concept sketches.
