Artist, American, born Romania, 1914 - 1999

The image shows a snow-covered path winding through a park or natural setting. The perspective is slightly elevated, capturing the path curving into the distance. Bare trees border the scene, with branches reaching towards the top edge of the image. The drawing style uses soft brushstrokes with pencil lines defining forms and shadows. The color palette is muted, with whites and grays for the snow and hints of pale greens, blues, and ochres. The scene includes tree shadows on the snow and a faint outline of a cyclist in motion.
