A vivid crimson rose with golden-yellow buds blooms at the center of an ornate black background, its petals rendered in rich detail against the dark ground. Baroque scrollwork and flourishing tendrils frame the flower in symmetrical patterns, creating a dramatic contrast between the warm red bloom and the cool grayscale ornamentation surrounding it. 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.
