A single horseshoe crab rests on wet sand, drawn in charcoal and graphite with deep black to soft silver-grey shading. Its domed shell and spiked tail catch a low light, casting a long shadow across the tall composition. The high horizon and monochrome palette let paper grain surface through the darks, giving this coastal study a quiet, timeless weight.
