Artist, American, 1894 - 1981

In the image, a cat is lying down on draped fabric in the center foreground. To the left, there is a bunch of large flowers, and to the right, there is a seated figure, possibly a Buddha, in a serene pose on a softly sketched background. The color palette is monochromatic, utilizing shades of gray and black for texture and depth. The cat stretches horizontally across the foreground, with its head near the left side, adjacent to the flowers, while the figure sits in the background on the right, partially obscured by the cat's form.
