Walnut Tree Orchard: Set M
1977

Three framed images displayed side by side. The leftmost image shows a black and white photograph of a leafless tree in a landscape. The middle image is a detailed line drawing of a similar tree on a grid background. The rightmost image is a colorful, abstract representation of a tree with a multitude of dots on a grid, suggesting a more artistic interpretation of the tree's form.
