Artist, American, 1880 - 1965

The image shows a ground-level view of two houses and structures connected by a winding path. Near the viewer, a wooden picket fence lines the path towards the houses. The horizon line is higher up, where the roofs of the houses meet the sky. The sky is dark and uniform. The style of the work is rough, with visible texture creating shadow and light on the houses and ground, adding detail to nearby foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray. Two tall utility poles are on the right side.
