early works
Initial creative output
The early works of an artist, writer, or composer are the pieces created at the beginning of their career, often before their style fully matured: His early works show the influence of his teachers.
The phrase implies contrast with later, typically more accomplished output.
Critics study early works for signs of emerging themes or raw talent.
