Dominant colour
The Georgics: Lemon Tree (Les Géorgiques: Citronnier) is a 1940 by Aristide Maillol, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a single lemon tree branch with big, round fruit and thick leaves. The lines are simple and smooth, all in one reddish-brown color. The background is plain white, and the whole image is framed by a thin red border. The artist signed it with a small "M" in the corner. This looks like a quiet study of nature, made to focus on shape and form. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Aristide Joseph Bonaventure Maillol was a French Catalan sculptor, painter, and printmaker.
