Charles Gaines
Walnut Tree Orchard: Set B1975

Not on view
Triptych of vertical works — a black and white photograph flanked by two pale pencil drawings — each depicting a bare, leafless tree with spare branching against a light background
Gelatin silver print of a bare, leafless sapling centered in the foreground against a pale overcast sky, with a row of evergreen trees receding into misty middle ground.
Pencil drawing of a bare tree sapling with sparse upward-reaching branches, centered on graph paper with a fine grid, small handwritten notation along the bottom edge.
Drawing on graph paper of a bare, leafless tree rendered in fine pencil lines, its branching structure mapped onto the underlying grid with pale blue-gray colored pencil highlights at center.
