Artist, American, 1875 - 1942

The image shows a circular shape with intersecting lines that create a star-like pattern within the circle, encircled by concentric rings. The design is reminiscent of a decorative wheel or nautical compass rose, with a starburst radiating from a central point. Small star-like motifs are scattered across the background, adding complexity to the composition. The vibrant colors within the circular segments bring to mind the detailing often found in vintage ornamental art.
