Artist, American, 1904 - 2001

The image shows two miners navigating a dark underground tunnel. Both men are standing slightly hunched, wearing miner's helmets with headlamps. The man on the left has angular facial features and carries a metal bucket, while the man on the right is looking downward. They wear rugged workwear with suspenders visible on the man on the left. The background consists of a dimly lit mine tunnel with wooden supports, tracks, and water. A third miner is seen further down the tunnel, also carrying equipment.
