Artist, American, 1905 - 1971

The image shows a street scene from a slightly elevated perspective, capturing buildings, people, and trees. The style features broad brushstrokes with a rough texture, especially on the buildings and the sky. The color palette includes earth tones such as green, brown, blue, and gray. A house with a tin roof and a wooden fence, as well as three figures near a small fire, are visible. Power lines run horizontally above the scene.
