Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a blue cloak with a hood and a capelet, tied with a blue string at the throat, as the largest object occupying most of the space within the picture. The color palette is primarily shades of blue, with some subtle gray tones on the inner lining of the cloak and the shadowed areas to indicate depth and form. Positioned centrally on the image, the cloak appears to be hanging or positioned upright against a plain, neutral background, with no other objects in sight.
