A single sweeping stroke in deep forest green pulls the eye diagonally downward before folding back on itself in a tight loop - the line almost consuming its own tail. Aldridge's restraint is notable here: the upper arc holds a gentle curve across the picture plane, while the lower terminus contracts into something close to a knot. The colour, a cool botanical green, lends the work an organic quietness at odds with the implied speed of the drawing.
