Leaves Along Still Water

A finely observed black-and-white line drawing presents broad overlapping leaves and low vegetation beside a rippling waterside edge. Dense contour marks describe the veins, folds, and weathered surfaces of the foliage, while lighter horizontal strokes open the surrounding water and create a quiet sense of space. The composition is grounded by rounded stones or organic forms in the foreground, giving the study the intimate, patient character of a field sketch.
