Artist, American, 20th century

The image shows large, smooth shapes and curved lines overlaying a speckled background. The composition appears flowing and abstract with undulating landscapes or gentle waves. The textured surface consists of countless small dots in various colors, giving the appearance of a densely packed mosaic. An outline resembling a handprint adds a familiar element to the forms, grounding the piece in a recognizable motif.
