Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. Overhead view of one translucent ketchup squeeze bottle lying diagonally from the lower-left toward the upper-right, offset to leave generous empty space at upper-left. Its red-filled body is comically elongated, slightly bowed and asymmetric, with small rounded shoulders and a tiny ivory pointed nozzle. No label. Loose, confident dark marker contours and broad tomato-red marker fills. Mezzotint-inspired tone appears only as soft, velvety charcoal-red shading along one side and a broad grainy blue contact shadow; no intricate hatching or fine engraving. Flat muted slate-blue tabletop, one pale peach edge highlight suggesting early dawn. Simple, unmistakable silhouette, legible at thumbnail size, restrained texture, no extra props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
