Harriet Keese Lanfair

Artist, American, 1900 - 1988

The image shows three large figures kneeling in a field-like setting, with abstract shapes resembling human figures engaged in activities related to farming or gardening. Smaller forms in the background suggest a busy scene, potentially with people at work. Linear markings hint at a horizon line, connecting the foreground to distant structures that could be interpreted as buildings.
