Artist, American, 1900 - 1968

The image shows a man with a shotgun and a dog standing to the right of the canvas. There is a low horizon line emphasizing the sky above, which is filled with brushstrokes indicating a windy atmosphere and ominous clouds. The color palette is sepia tones contrasting the figures against the background sky. Tall grasses appear to sway in the foreground, leading the eye towards the figures in the middle distance.
