Soft washes of watercolor glide over delicate graphite lines, forming a seated figure that seems carved from silence. Rendered on layered tones of buff and cream paper, the image breathes with warmth and fragility. Modigliani's Caryatid rests in gentle repose, evoking both classical elegance and quiet introspection. The fluidity of the medium enhances the figure's grace, capturing not just the shape of a body but the weight and stillness of contemplation. This card suits moments shaped by reflection or the need for stillness. It's a way to acknowledge presence without intrusion.
