Description

This watercolor and ink illustration by Chicago-based illustrator Caroline Tomlinson depicts three stylized green pears arranged in a loose cluster against a solid cream paper background.

The composition is rendered in a portrait orientation, emphasizing the organic shapes and delicate tonal variations of the fruit.
