Dramatic charcoal drawing on grey-toned paper with white chalk highlights, deep blacks and smudged gradients. Velvety compressed charcoal shadows, sharp expressive lines, eraser lifts for light, fingerprints and smudges at the paper edges, monochrome greys with only white chalk for the brightest points. Methessa, a tall human woman (no pointed ears) with very long straight dark-blonde hair swept back from her forehead and parted in the middle, blue-violet eyes, wearing a fitted dark navy coat with grey frog closures, a thick dark fur collar and black fur-cuffed gloves. Laufette is a slim young human woman of short stature with a mature, composed and serious adult face. Her orange hair is styled into two round buns on top of her head, each wrapped with a white frilled band, with long yellow ribbons hanging beside her face, straight-cut bangs and short side locks that hide her ears; she has brown eyes. She wears a sleeveless dark navy halter dress with white straps crossing in an X at the collar, a small red gem at the crossing point, high side slits and a jagged zigzag hem, detached dark navy sleeves from above the elbows to the knuckles and knee-high dark navy boots with small white bows. In a quiet snowy courtyard, Methessa bends down to hand Laufette a sealed letter, Laufette accepting it with a serious, composed nod. Methessa is much taller (about a head or more) than Laufette; Laufette's head reaches about Methessa's shoulder. Methessa and Laufette are human with normal rounded ears hidden under the hair and no pointed elf ears. Strong chiaroscuro drawing, single light source, no text, no lettering and no signature anywhere in the image. Exactly two people in the image, Methessa and Laufette, each clearly recognizable and individually distinct. Highly detailed.
