Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows two symmetrical tree-like shapes made up of intricate patterns of leaves and branches. One tree silhouette is on the left against a dark background, while the other is on the right against a lighter background, creating contrast. The design is abstract with the trees as a central motif separated by a vertical line and bordered below by a repetitively patterned fence-like shape, hinting at a mirrored garden scene.
