Artist, American, 1912 - 2006

The image shows a man and a boy seated near an open window. The man is closest to the window, looking outside. The man has short hair and a mustache. The boy's face is also visible, with short, tousled hair. Both are wearing collared shirts. The interior appears rustic with wooden window frames and a fabric hanging beside the window. The background outside the window shows a blurred landscape of rolling hills or mountains.
