Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. A miniature market gardener kneels in a shallow rectangular soil bed nestled between two oversized stacks of closed books on one tabletop. Three-quarter side view. Place the gardener left of centre: an unusually long curved back, tiny head, narrow bent legs and a broad ochre apron create a distinctive asymmetric silhouette. Simple mitten-like hands grip the leafy crown of one enormous orange carrot, partly lifted from the soil. Two small green leaf clusters suggest the remaining crop. Book stacks have plain coral and muted blue covers, broad cream page bands, no fine page lines. Warm ivory background with generous empty space above and toward the right. Loose dark marker contours, broad translucent colour fills, slight stroke overlap, minimal face, no intricate hatching. One clear harvesting gesture; no other people or props. No text, logos or watermarks.
