Finished editorial illustration, landscape 4:3. One handmade ceramic pitcher rests left of centre on a pale butter-yellow tabletop, viewed slightly from above. Its exaggerated silhouette has a huge squat belly, an elongated neck curving toward the light at upper right, a small pouring lip and a tiny thick loop handle. Warm terracotta clay with a broad cream-glazed patch around the shoulder. Expressive, uneven hand-drawn marker contours combined with soft airbrushed colour fields and simple rounded shading. Broad light from an unseen window illuminates the neck and casts one soft lavender shadow behind the base. Plain warm-ivory background, generous empty space on the right. Legible at thumbnail size, restrained palette, no intricate texture or hatching. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
