Leon Kelly

Boy Giving a Mollusk to the Poet
1954

A vertical, abstract drawing featuring delicate, intertwined lines and shapes in soft pastel colors such as peach, yellow, green, and blue. The composition gives the impression of fluid, organic forms, possibly suggesting plant-like structures or figures. The artwork is lightly colored with pencil or crayon, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.
