Incomplete Colored Pencil Drawing of a Peacock

This is an original, hand-drawn illustration of a peacock on a vertically oriented white paper substrate. The artwork displays a mixed-media approach, predominantly utilizing colored pencils for the rendered sections and graphite pencil for the initial layout. The peacock is positioned in profile, facing toward the right. High-detail color work is visible on the bird's head, neck, and wing. The neck is rendered in vibrant shades of cobalt and cerulean blue with fine stroke work to simulate feathers, while the wing features meticulous gold and bronze-toned scalloped patterns representing plumage. The bird's head includes a black crest and specific white facial markings around the eye. Notably, the artwork is unfinished; the long tail feathers and the branch upon which the bird perches are only visible as light graphite silhouettes/under-drawings. The paper appears to be a standard heavy-weight drawing paper, likely from a sketchbook or pad, showing some minor surface smudging in the white space around the subject. There are no visible artist signatures or dates in the provided view. The craftsmanship shows a high level of technical skill in color blending and feather texture, suggesting a contemporary artist or hobbyist with formal training. The overall condition is good, though as a work-in-progress, it lacks the finish of a completed portfolio piece.
