Artist, American, 1899 - 1964

The image shows a pastoral scene with rolling hills in the distance. A farmer is seated on a stool beside a cow, painting on a canvas on an easel. A woman runs through a field holding a rose. The brushstrokes are detailed, creating texture in the fields and figures. The color palette is primarily monochromatic. The artwork appears to be a lithograph or etching with intricate line work and shading.
