Artist, American, 1903 - 1976

The image is a black and white landscape featuring a solitary, gnarled tree in the center. The tree's trunk twists upward with branches spreading outward, some ending in clusters of leaves. The ground is covered in dense grass, and a bird is perched on a fence post to the left of the tree. Rolling hills extend into the distance, with a softly sketched horizon high in the artwork. The sky has a clouded atmosphere created by light brushstrokes, contrasting against the darker tree outlines.
