Colored Pencil and Watercolor Drawing of a Peacock
This original artwork depicts a male Indian Peafowl standing on a rocky outcrop amidst green shrubbery, set against a background of vertical, slender tree trunks. The medium appears to be a combination of colored pencils for the intricate feather details and watercolor or light ink for the surrounding foliage and background elements. The peacock is shown in profile, featuring a vibrant blue neck, a crested head, and a long trailing tail adorned with characteristic 'eyespots' (ocelli). The wings show a brown and white speckled pattern, rendered with fine, rhythmic strokes. The background consists of tall, narrow tree-like forms in a light tan or peach hue, which contrast with the saturated green of the bushes below. The artwork is on white paper or cardstock. The condition appears fair, though there are visible shadows and slight unevenness in the paper, suggesting it is an unframed, amateur or student-level work. No signatures or dates are immediately visible on the front. Based on the style and technique, this piece is likely a contemporary work from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to the bird's anatomy and plumage, though the atmospheric perspective and background are more simplified.
