Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a circular decorative plate with a large ship at its center, surrounded by intricate designs, possibly of seashells and foliage, around the border. The color palette appears to be monochromatic, dominated by shades of grey, as the image is in black and white. The ship is positioned centrally within the inner circle of the plate, while the ornate designs form a border around it. The overall composition is balanced and symmetrical, with the plate set against a plain background.
