Untitled
1969

A black and white etching of a natural scene featuring tall grasses or reeds in the foreground, with their long, slender leaves and feathery tops stretching upwards. The composition captures the play of light and shadow, creating a contrast between the dark, detailed textures of the vegetation and the lighter background. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and is numbered on the lower left, indicating its place in a limited series. The paper has rough edges, suggesting it may be a fine art print.
