Artist, American, 1906 - 2002

This is a drawing of a cemetery scene. In the foreground, an open grave is visible, with several individuals gathered around. The figures are sketched in a solemn posture, with two of them bowed and another holding what seems to be a book. Tombstones and trees are depicted throughout. The drawing employs a stippling technique for texture and depth in the foliage and clothing. The line work is delicate.
