the image is a page from a sketchbook filled with graphite pencil sketches, seemingly inspired by donna tartt's novel "the goldfinch". the drawings are primarily portraits of a young man, presumably the protagonist theo decker, at various ages and in different emotional states. there are also quick sketches of other characters and objects significant to the story, such as boris pavlikovsky, a lamp, and eyes that hint at themes of observation and memory.  the style is loose and expressive, capturing the rawness of emotion and the artist's personal interpretation of the novel.  the words "the gold finch" are scribbled at the bottom, confirming the inspiration behind the artwork.
