Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image features a series of rounded lines and arc-shaped curves that create a layered, scalloped pattern, both above and below a central line. This abstract composition includes a vase-like form at the top, with handles depicted in a simple, linear style. The repetitive arcs with dots inside add to the layered visual, suggestive of a decorative motif one might find on ceramics or in ornamental designs. The overall design melds abstract shapes with hints of familiar, everyday forms like a pot or vessel.
