Seated among the rooftops of a coastal town, a young skywatcher looks up as a bright comet crosses the deep blue night. A telescope stands beside her, while she holds an astronomical chart against her chest. Laundry lifts on a line in the sea breeze; a lighthouse and warm windows mark the distant shore.
Star-patterned clothing, books and a lantern gather around her, turning the rooftop into a quiet observatory. The companion sketch shows the same thoughtful pose and carefully arranged scene in pencil.
