Pear,, (undated)

Lubell 2/8: 48

Ink drawing (with watercolor) of a pear tree branch, disconnected from any larger trunk or space. Ink lines and grey wash are used to color, shade, and define the branch, while green is used on the much lighter (in terms of both tone and definition) leaves. A second, presumably earlier version of the piece is painted with what appear to be ink and watercolor on the back of the sheet. Interestingly, the outline has only been partially drawn, but watercolor has been added to the leaves. The only date indicated is “April.”
