Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

This is a painting of abstract figures lounging together. The image features a collection of loosely defined forms, rendered with a mixture of soft pastel colors and bold black outlines. The figures are engaged in a relaxed setting, surrounded by abstract, earthy forms. The use of light washes and free-flowing lines conveys a sense of movement. This is in the style of Paul Cézanne, with an impressionistic approach to form and color.
