'Blackbird & Bauble'

This elegant ink and gold leaf illustration features a finely detailed blackbird against a minimalist white background. Rendered with delicate ink washes that capture the texture of its feathers, the bird gazes forward with a bright, curious eye. In its beak, it holds a thin thread attached to a textured, shimmering gold leaf disc, creating a striking contrast between the deep black ink and the luminous metallic treasure.
