Black Heath
1959

An ink and wash drawing on paper depicting a tangle of branches with clusters of berries. The artwork features expressive, fluid lines and a limited color palette, primarily in shades of black, brown, and beige, with splashes of orange. The composition is dynamic, with the branches creating a sense of movement across the page.
