Violin With Case and Broken Bow

Still life of a violin, case, and bow. The instrument and it’s accessories are on a table. The bow is broken, leaving the viewer to wonder if the bow was recently broken from use, or if it is old and neglected. The light in this composition is coming from the left casting strong shadows. There is a lonely, empty feeling, which at the same time emphasizes that the violin is just an inanimate object that requires a musician to bring it to life, and the long hours of dedication required to master such an instrument. Graphite on paper. 18 x 24 inches
