Fall of the Leaf was the first of Sybil Andrews' linocuts that resembled
more a landscape then a study of labour or modernity. It was followed
in the next two years with two additional trees in motion studies with
Storm 1935, and Tumulus 1936.
"Andrews added texture and depth to the flat shapes of her landscape
by cutting cross-hatched marks directly into the block" Hana Leaper,
Sybil Andrews Linocuts: A Complete catalogue.
