Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a two-story house in the center. The horizon is visible above the rooftops, with clear separation between the sky and the landscaped grounds. The brushstrokes create a soft, watercolor-like effect. A pathway leads to the house, bordered by hedges and trees. The house has a symmetrical front with columns and a pediment. Trees surround the house, adding depth to the scene. The color palette is gentle, with soft greens, pale blues, and muted earth tones.
