Artist, American, 1904 - 1967

The image shows intersecting curves and straight lines forming an abstract composition. The silhouette of a figure with an indistinct face is at the center, suggesting an upper body and head. The arms are bent, with one hand holding a small, rounded object. Below the arms, crossed lines create a textured pattern. Varying shades of blue are used to give depth to the forms.
