Finished editorial landscape illustration, square 1:1. From an elevated overlook, a dry rust-coloured valley floor widens dramatically from a shallow notch near the upper centre into a huge fan filling the foreground. Two low, blunt mauve ridges enclose it, their proportions deliberately squat and gently irregular. High horizon with a quiet band of pale cream sky. Compressed distant landforms, no river, no fog. Simple expressive hand-drawn marker contours combined with broad opaque, oil-paint-like colour patches and a few visible brush sweeps; no intricate texture or hatching. Restrained rust, dusty mauve, ochre and cream palette. Soft late-afternoon light, weather-rounded edges, a reflective sense of an ancient landscape. Strong thumbnail-readable shapes, generous uncluttered areas, no tiny scenery. No people, animals, text, logos or watermarks.
