Shell Figure in Sunlight

A finely worked pen-and-ink drawing presents a surreal, shell-like figure rising from a broad spiral base, its ribbed, tapering forms reaching upward like twisting horns or limbs. A sharp cast shadow stretches across the tiled ground, while sparse elliptical marks and handwritten notes occupy the surrounding paper. Dense contour lines give the central form a sense of rotation and weight, contrasting with the airy negative space and warm, aged surface.
