A single dahlia in full bloom, rendered in charcoal and graphite on a deep charcoal ground. Layer upon layer of soft tonal shading builds each petal, from the palest grey highlights to the darkest shadows, giving the flower a quiet, sculptural depth. Essentially monochrome, the drawing lets light and texture carry the drama, making it a striking focal piece for a modern or traditional space.
