Portrait pastel sheet framed by a golden-yellow wash border. Inside it, a packed stack of interlocking pod and leaf shapes drawn in a double contour of dark brown and crimson, their interiors veiled with white and cream strokes over green stalks, with small flashes of sky blue and orange breaking through low on the right.
