Ellsworth Kelly (American, 1923-2015). Lithograph on paper titled "Pear III" depicting a pear from the "Suite of Plant Lithographs," 1965-66. Pencil signed lower right; numbered H.C. (Artist Proof) lower left. A label from Marlborough Gallery, New York is attached to the verso. As is characteristic of the series, the pear is depicted as a simple contour drawing, all details suggested by the clean and purposeful lines. The pear is depicted without a stem, but surrounded by a spray of pear leaves, fanning out on either side, almost like wings.
