A monochrome charcoal and graphite study of a cocktail glass with a twist of peel, an open book and a halved pear resting on a dark tabletop. Single-source light from the upper left carves deep blacks into the folds and the glass's shadow, while delicate mid-greys trace the pear's curve and the paper's edge. Rich tonal shading gives this quiet still life a moody, timeless atmosphere.
