Avaritia et Vanitas, mу art, 297×420 , pencil drawing, 2025 In the dim light of a forgotten throne room, the clinking of gold is the only sound that remains. This piece explores the intersection of eternal duty and mortal transience. While the sovereign’s grip remains firm upon his earthly treasures, the presence of the maiden and the silent skull reminds us that every coin is weighted with the passage of time. A chronicle of power, faith, and the shadows that linger long after the sun has set. #pencildrawing #graphiteart #darkacademic #medievalart #historicalillustration #vladtepes #vladtheimpaler #darkart #vanitas #mementomori #gothicart #traditionalart #sketchbook #detailedart #fineart #artistsoninstagram #monochromeart #historicalaccuracy #dracula #wallachia #fantasyart #macabreart #royalart #crosshatching #pencilsketch #mythology #medievalaesthetic #darkfantasy #illustrationoftheday #inkandpencil
