The melting king (2026)Pencil drawing by Amelia Taylor

28 Artist Reviews

£230

This piece is an A4 original graphite drawing on high quality paper.

This piece comes unframed

This drawing measures 8.27 x 11.69 inches

The cross atop the king remains upright and intact, symbolising authority and power, yet the softened edges and flowing drips suggest vulnerability beneath that dominance. A faint shadow grounds the piece, enhancing the illusion of weight despite its transparent nature. Overall, the drawing balances strength and fragility, capturing a quiet moment where control, impermanence, and delicacy coexist

Materials used:

I used graphite pencils and graphite powder to create this piece.
