Description

A refined early drawing by Alan Reynolds, executed with the delicacy and precision that characterise his work of the early 1950s. Rendered in spare, flowing pen lines with subtle tonal washes, the composition distils the natural form of the sycamore into an elegant, almost calligraphic structure, reflecting Reynolds’ growing interest in rhythm, balance, and underlying order in nature.
