A black horse with flowing mane turns its head in profile against a pale gray background, captured in stark monochromatic tones that emphasize the animal's refined features and luxurious coat texture. The composition is spare and contemplative, letting the horse's dignified posture and expressive eye dominate the frame with quiet intensity. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
