Artist, American, born Latvia, 1900 - 1983

The image depicts irregular shapes and intersecting lines creating an abstract artwork. The central portion shows large freeform outlines resembling stones or pebbles, while the surrounding region consists of parallel and diagonal lines that may suggest wood grain or woven fabric texture. These elements combine to create a visual composition reminiscent of natural objects, like rocks on a table or a blurred landscape from above.
