Original Colored Pencil Angel Illustration on Paper

This is an original hand-drawn illustration depicting a celestial angelic figure, executed on a rectangular sheet of white artist's paper. The composition features a full-length female angel with expansive wings rendered in shades of white and gold-ochre. She is dressed in a flowing, white classical-style gown with visible vertical linework suggesting folds in the fabric. Her hair is light brown, crowned with a simple gold-colored halo. The figure holds a delicate botanical sprig with small pink flowers. The background is heavily saturated with dark, almost black, scribbled pencil strokes, creating a high-contrast 'chiaroscuro' effect that makes the central figure pop. The coloring appears to be achieved through the layering of colored pencils or possibly wax crayons. The application of the background is somewhat uneven, showing distinct directional strokes. No visible artist signature or date is present on the front of the work. The paper shows slight warping at the edges, consistent with heavy media application, but appears relatively contemporary, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The style is folk-academic, showing a blend of classical iconographic themes with a personal, illustrative touch.
