Artist, American, born Russia (now Poland), 1881 - 1961

The image shows a rectangular shape filled with irregular, dark, and textured lines and forms, creating an abstract pattern. The composition suggests the imprint of a historical artifact, with human-like figures resembling statues or sculptural reliefs. The shapes evoke cultural artifacts such as ancient carved stones or temple friezes, with an uneven border resembling rough hewn edges of antiquities.
