Artist, American, 1893 - 1972

The image shows a large, old-fashioned metal key positioned vertically in the center of a plain background. The key has an antique appearance, with a dark metallic tone and subtle hints of green and gold patina. The color palette is neutral with the key providing contrast against the light beige backdrop. The key's bow is near the center, with its shaft extending downwards almost reaching the bottom of the frame, while its two-pronged bit is oriented upwards.
