Description

Two red-inked hands, rendered with bold woodgrain texture and simplified fingernail details, cup a single yellow fruit topped with two pointed green leaves, set against a plain cream background. The composition is centered and symmetrical, with the pair of hands forming a bowl-like frame around the fruit at the middle of the sheet. Below the image, the print is pencil-signed "Fruit," Matsubara, with an edition number and the date 1974, alongside a red artist's seal.
