Artist, American, born Hungary, 1894 - 1985

The image shows two people lying on their stomachs in the grass. One individual, a woman, rests her head in her hands, while the other person, presumably a man, lies facing her. The woman has dark, neatly styled hair and is gazing at the man. The man wears a suit and has his face turned slightly towards the woman. They both have formal attire, with the man wearing a suit and the woman a dark top. The grassy surroundings are lush and dense, with tall grass and bushes in the background. The scene looks natural and serene.
