4.1965.10: Plant Study: Sweet Lemon; Grapefruit; Pipona
DrawingsAt the top, a yellow lemon, stem attached, with leaf sticks that up to the right. The lemon’s pronounced pointy end faces top left. Its smooth textured surface is interrupted by small circular spots around the surface. The grapefruit in the middle is composed the same way. It’s bumpy in texture and colors vary from light yellow to dark orange, with some green veins. The third fruit sits at center bottom, no leaf or stem, is horizontal oblong in shape, like a small yellow pumpkin or gourd. Pronounced shadows give everything dimensionality. Manuscript of Latin names in the lower left.
