Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. On the right half of a sparse worktable, one comically oversized crescent-shaped ancient pottery fragment rests securely on a plain soft conservation support. Its broad curved rim and blunt broken ends clearly suggest part of an earthenware bowl. A single simplified gloved hand enters from the upper right, holding a disproportionately tiny soft brush against a small dusty patch; only a faint dust trace, no airborne cloud. Gentle dry cleaning, no scraping. Broad irregular charcoal contours, rubbed dark-gray fills, visible paper grain, no intricate hatching or decorative patterns. Playful asymmetric silhouette, flat graphic lighting, one soft contact shadow. Cool pale-gray ground and generous empty space on the left. Keep the brush contact and pottery silhouette legible at thumbnail size. Simple expressive mark-making, not a diagram or icon sheet. No text, logos or watermarks.
