Original Peacock Illustration in Colored Pencil

This is an original hand-drawn illustration depicting a male Indian Peafowl, executed on white art paper using colored pencils. The focal point is a vibrantly colored peacock rendered with deep blues, teals, and greens, showing significant attention to texture in the feathered neck and the ocelli (eyes) of the train. The wing displays a characteristic scaly pattern in brown and black. The bird is depicted in a side profile, standing atop a small earthen mound. The background is minimalist, consisting of several vertical, sketchily rendered tree trunks or tall grass stalks in muted tan and grey tones, suggesting a woodland or meadow setting. The composition uses negative space extensively to emphasize the bird's plumage. Measurement is approximately standard letter size (8.5 x 11 inches). The drawing appears to be contemporary, likely 21st century, and shows fine-point pencil work and layering techniques to achieve depth in color. There are no visible signatures or artist marks on the front surface. The paper condition looks excellent with no apparent yellowing, creasing, or foxing visible in the photograph, though the lighting suggests it is unmounted and unframed.
