Dolphin at Sunset Sketch

This item is an original hand-drawn illustration executed in a spiral-bound sketchbook. The composition features a central dolphin depicted in mid-leap against a sunset background. The medium appears to be colored pencil or crayon, with visible stroke textures throughout. The dolphin is rendered in shades of dark grey and black with lighter highlights on its underside to create a sense of three-dimensionality. Behind the dolphin, a horizontal band of orange and yellow represents a sunset sky, with a corresponding yellow reflection shimmering on what is implied to be water below. The bottom half of the page remains largely white, emphasizing the subject and the reflection. The work is contemporary and bears the characteristics of a student or amateur artist, showing a focus on representative wildlife illustration. The paper shows slight rippling at the top where it is attached to the spiral bind, but the overall condition is good with no visible tears or significant staining. No artist signature or date is visible on the front of the work. The style is folk-realism, prioritizing the recognizable form of the dolphin over complex environmental detail.
