Artist, American, 1878 - 1919

The image shows a stylized depiction of the Statue of Liberty from a close perspective to the waterline. The horizon is positioned above the middle of the composition, with the statue's silhouette prominently featured against the sky. The artwork appears to use block printing or screen printing techniques, with broad, flat areas of color defining shapes and outlines. The color scheme includes muted shades of green, yellow, blue, and brown, creating a harmonious, vintage poster-like look. Simplified shapes suggesting water and a ship are visible in the foreground, while the statue stands tall against the open sky, with an abstract treatment of negative space and form around it.
