Artist, American, 1910 - 1997

The image shows a settlement near a river from a bird's-eye view. The river narrows toward the horizon where it seems to fade away. The style resembles a woodcut print, with sharp lines creating a pattern of light and shadow. The forefront includes building rooftops, trees with defined foliage, and a monochromatic color palette of black and white. Structures and the river recede towards the horizon, with atmospheric lines in the sky.
