Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture in the image is an abstract form that resembles a folded or draped piece of material with a slightly elongated, angular shape. It appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze, given its dark, metallic sheen and the subtle variations in its surface coloration. The sculpture has a smooth surface with gentle curves and edges, giving it an organic, fluid appearance. Two circular indentations in the surface could suggest an intentional design element or part of its mounting mechanism. Below the sculpture, there is a simple line drawing depicting a similar shape. The name "Adolf Oströd" is marked in the bottom right corner.
