A figure with deep brown skin wears a dramatic headdress crowned with golden orchids and black sculptural forms, their face serene against a warm tan ground. Two white cranes with elongated necks frame the composition, their feathered bodies rendered in soft cream and gray, creating an ethereal, regal tableau that merges human portraiture with natural forms. 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.
