Original artwork description:

On 130 g sketch paper A play of subtle contrasts unfolds through shades of black and gray, giving the animal a presence that is both imposing and enigmatic. The contours are preferentially sketched, giving the composition a feeling of movement and fluidity, as if the creature is ready to come alive off the paper. This drawing is distinguished by its ability to evoke the raw and natural essence of animal life with an economy of means. Each line and each shadow seems meticulously thought out to project, with apparent simplicity, a scene imbued with power and natural elegance. This work illustrates an indisputable mastery of charcoal and an artistic sensitivity which succeeds in capturing the soul of the subject with poignant authenticity.
