Notebook Page: Soft Shuttlecock Spread on a Field
1994

A hand-drawn sketch of a flower with eight petals radiating from a central orange circle, possibly representing the stamen or pistil. The petals are outlined in blue pencil with some shading, giving a translucent effect. Above the flower, there is a faint, horizontal sketch that appears to be a landscape or horizon line. Handwritten text is visible at the bottom right corner, suggesting the artist's signature and possibly a date. The drawing is on a cream-colored paper with a slight texture.
