Artist, American, 1868 - 1933

This is a painting of a night scene near a body of water, featuring several figures including some in the water and others standing or walking nearby. The image is created using a monochromatic palette of soft grey and black tones. The figures appear to be engaging in some form of ritual or gathering, as a central figure seems to be interacting with a person in the water while others stand on the shore, with one extending an arm upwards. The background is composed of shadowy trees or bushes. This is in the style of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes.
