A charcoal and graphite study of a lone prairie dog poised on its hind legs beside the mound of its burrow. Deep soft blacks and silver highlights build rich tonal shading across the square composition, keeping the animal whole and centred against a quiet, essentially monochrome field. Timeless and attentive, the drawing brings the open plains indoors with a calm, natural presence suited to any wall.
