Finished editorial gouache illustration, 16:9 landscape, viewed straight down into a theatre's backstage wing. A comically broad, squat beige wooden prop trunk with two simple dark latches and four tiny wheels sits left of centre. An enormously oversized forest-green stage curtain sweeps along the upper and left edges, its gathered hem forming a loose curve around the trunk. A narrow dark stage-wing opening beyond the curtain establishes the theatrical setting. Cobalt-blue floor extends across the right half as generous breathing room. Opaque flat gouache colour, expressive hand-drawn marker-like contours, a few broad curved strokes describing curtain folds, deliberately asymmetric silhouettes. Soft even illumination, minimal detail, legible at thumbnail size. No people, cream or beige background, teal-and-terracotta palette, gradients, 3D shading, collage or intricate hatching. No text, logos or watermarks.
