Lubell 2/2: 11

Pastel drawing with black ink. A depiction of some trees together in autumn. The pastel coloring causes the various reds, yellows, and greens to blend together in a way somewhat reminiscent of impressionist art (without singular structures that appear distinct from the background). A house can be seen in the background, also in pastel but with a much more structured design. Drawn on light tan paper.

39.3 x 57.5 cm

Lubell 2/2: 12

Ink and wash drawing of a person waving a group of branches or fronds around three blue birds. Instead of larger waves, thick lines of blue and dark red are placed under the final thick black ink lines. The lack of a heavy outline gives the figures a sense of aggression and movement. A group of lines for tall grass lines the bottom right part of the paper.

Lubell 2/2: 13

Stylized ink drawing the top of a tree trunk as it splits into different branches. Line patterns used for the needles, with most of the shading done by thicker lines instead of the patterns Lubell generally uses. Collectively, the branches have a generic curve that goes counterclockwise. No background, horizon, or context. Signed Winifred Lubell. Slight tear near top right edge.

27.9 x 35.6 cm

Lubell 2/2: 14

Ink drawing of foliage of an unknown plant (blueberry?), with berries and leaves sprouting from its branches. Only black ink is used, and the detail moves from significant to increasingly sparse and empty from right to left as the line patterns stop and the outlines look less concrete. Signed W Lubell. Note, partially cut off on right side of paper reads “Bluebe.” Drawn on a page torn from an artist’s sketchbook.

30 x 37.4 cm

Lubell 2/2: 15

Ink and wash drawing of a grouping of weeds and other plant life. Various pen inks – red, black, blue, and yellow – are used for individual species. Similarly, different artistic styles like crosshatching and dot patterns are used not only on different plants, but in different ways.
