Artist, American, 1910 - 1985

The image depicts a rural scene with a house, a horse pulling a wagon, and a fence stretching across the horizon. The colors used are earthy browns and greens for the ground and the house, with a gradient sky transitioning from deep purple and blue tones to lighter pink and peach tones near the horizon. The brushstrokes are smooth and flowing.
