Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. On the left, an absurdly broad, squat cream coffee cup rests on a tiny round terracotta tabletop supported by an elongated, slightly crooked pedestal. A simple bentwood chair and sparse wrought-iron balcony rail establish a 1920s Mediterranean pension. Beyond the balcony, one quiet harbor appears as a pale blue water shape and a few low ochre waterfront silhouettes. Slightly elevated three-quarter view; cup is the unmistakable focal point, with generous breathing room on the right. Copperplate-etching-inspired tapering ink contours, a few lightly broken lines, broad expressive marker fills on warm ivory paper; no intricate hatching. Muted terracotta, sea blue and cream. Warm morning light with two offset ochre shadow shapes beneath the cup, one faint from reflected light. Simple, playful, legible at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
