Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. One silver-haired retiree sits sideways on a low lakeside bench in the left third, enjoying a leisurely cycling break. Distinctive asymmetric silhouette: small rust-coloured torso, exceptionally long navy trouser legs stretched comfortably forward, oversized ochre shoes. Minimal profile face, one simple hand resting on a thigh. A compact, plainly drawn bicycle leans against the far end of the bench, subordinate to the person. The right half opens onto a glassy pale-blue lake with one broad reflection beneath a low olive shoreline. Haze-softened sunlight, warm cream sky, quiet shadows. Combine expressive broad marker fills with wood-engraving-inspired black contours and a few chunky cream cut marks; no intricate hatching. Flat shapes, slight handmade edge wobble, legible at thumbnail size, generous breathing room. No other people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
