A single black ink rose with a thorny stem, buds and serrated leaves, drawn in fine pen hatching on a plain off-white ground. Square frames with shaded centers sit behind the lower and upper-left foliage and act as the finder squares, while the thorny branches and the rose petals carry the dark modules. Strong black against pale paper keeps the pattern readable, and the dense shading around the bloom contrasts with the sparse, open space elsewhere. Thin thorn tips extend past the code edge like tattoo flash linework.
