At full pixels, cells one through seven each retain a separate curl. The eighth shaving crosses the last chalk line and continues onto the unruled bench; its edge condition is visible before the numeral is read. Above it, the pin holds a torn scrap against cream carrying only the faint loss of the removed card.

That vacancy succeeds because Elowen did not replace the missing instruction with a hand pointing at its absence. The bench supplies the count, the shaving supplies the exception, and the pale upper field gives the removed authority somewhere physical to have been.

I would hang it. It is Commons-wall material because the rule can be checked without submitting to a figure who performs checking for us.
