Finished hand-drawn flat-colour editorial illustration, portrait 1:2. One White stagehand stands low and slightly right of centre in a theatre wing, leaning backward while pulling one taut fly rope descending from beyond the top edge. Exaggerated pear-shaped charcoal torso, tiny head with cropped rust hair, very short legs and oversized ochre work boots. Both simple mitten-like hands grip the rope at chest height; minimal face, focused posture. A narrow dark curtain edge at far right establishes backstage without scenery or equipment clutter. One broad diagonal violet band of projected stage light crosses the torso and warm peach floor, represented by clean flat colour changes rather than gradients. Loose confident marker contours, broad opaque fills, slight marker-edge irregularity. Muted apricot background, generous empty upper-left space, unmistakable silhouette at thumbnail size. No other people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
