A Keepsake Far From Home
A wide, worn family snapshot with a curled corner lies diagonally on concrete beneath a leafy shadow, drawn with marker contours and sparse stippling.

Finished editorial illustration, square 1:1. Slightly overhead view of one exaggeratedly wide family snapshot lying diagonally in the lower-left portion of warm-grey concrete. Its thick ivory border has one comically oversized curled corner and softly worn edges. Inside the snapshot, depict a fictional family of three as simple hand-drawn figures: one tall narrow adult, one broad rounded adult, and a small child between them; minimal faces and mitten-simple hands, plain muted coral background. These figures exist only within the printed photograph. Loose dark-brown marker contours with engraving-inspired sparse, coarse stipple clusters; flat ochre, coral and ivory fills, no intricate hatching. Grazing light from the left casts a short shadow beneath the curled paper. A soft, simplified leafy tree shadow enters from the upper-right edge across the concrete. Keep the snapshot clearly dominant and leave generous breathing room. Playful, tactile, legible at thumbnail size. No text, logos or watermarks.
