Atlas

Below is a tiny drawing, about 5 inches tall by 2 inches wide or so. It is titled "Atlas Holding The Firmament," and it's now in a private collection in Norfolk.

That small drawing gives birth to the below drawing, which is about 13 inches tall by 8 inches wide.

The most recent drawing not only gained in size, but also lost in sense of detail and became a more sparse, minimalist work.
