Context:
Stella made nature studies throughout his career. For this simple, spare composition he used metalpoint, a medium associated with the Italian Renaissance and rarely seen in the 20th century. Although metalpoint cannot be erased, its unique qualities-precision, delicacy, and sharpness-appealed to Stella and he often combined it with colored pencils to achieve a brilliance almost equal to oil painting. The careful execution and large size of this sheet suggest that Stella considered it a finished work of art.
