A number 12 billiard ball with purple and white coloring sits on a rich blue playing surface, casting a soft shadow beside a white cue ball and a yellow pencil positioned diagonally in the lower left. The composition uses flat, geometric shapes and a restrained color palette to capture a moment of quiet anticipation before play, rendered in a clean, contemporary illustrative style. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
