Margaret Lowengrund

Artist, American, 1905 - 1957

This is a drawing of several figures shoveling snow. The drawing depicts a group of draped figures engaged in clearing snow, each holding a shovel or pickaxe. Their forms are streamlined and slightly abstracted, with an emphasis on the flowing lines and contours of their clothing. The scene is set against a minimalistic and wide snow-covered background. The use of shading and line work highlights the textures of the snow and conveys the cold wintry environment.
