Finished editorial illustration, 5:6 portrait. One comically squat wolf sits in left-facing profile in the lower-left portion, nose tilted slightly upward, two towering pointed ears, compact chest, tiny visible paws and an enormous bushy tail curling around its feet toward the right. Clearly wolf-like angular muzzle and cheek tufts; one small eye. Engraving-inspired carved relief translated into expressive hand-drawn marker art: broad slate-grey raised shapes, a few ivory contour channels, slightly irregular dark marker edges and simple offset shadows suggesting shallow carving. Low-key lighting against a flat midnight-blue ground, with a restrained pale edge highlight along the ears and back. Strong asymmetrical silhouette, generous empty space above and upper right. Minimal interior marks, no intricate hatching or realistic fur detail. Illustration, not a photograph of a carving. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
