A solitary gannet dives headlong through dark water, rendered in charcoal and graphite with rich tonal shading. Essentially monochrome, the composition traces the churn of bubbles and rising shafts of light down the full length of the frame. Dramatic contrast and soft gradients give the plunge a quiet, weightless power, making this a striking monochrome piece for lovers of seabirds and deep ocean drama.
