Study of Fan Blades
1965

A vintage-looking drawing of a four-leaf clover-like shape with mathematical annotations and measurements, on a paper with aged edges and spots. The drawing includes a large circle with intersecting loops inside, creating a petal-like pattern, and is surrounded by handwritten notes and numbers, suggesting a technical or mathematical study.
