Size 8x10 original artwork - not a print. Matted in a white frame. Wooden frame NOT included.

This pencil sketch presents a clever visual contrast between reality and perception through the use of lighting and shadow.

FIGURE: A woman stands with her back to the viewer, wearing a dress with a detailed bodice and puffy sleeves. She is holding a small dog in her arms.

SHADOW: Cast sharply against a vertical wall to her right, her shadow tells a completely different story. Instead of reflecting the small dog, the shadow clearly reveals the silhouette of the woman holding a small child, completely transforming the emotional weight of the scene.
