Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The image shows a coastal scene with a house on a dune or hill to the right. The horizon line is low, land meeting water. A solitary figure stands near the water. Loose brushstrokes and minimalistic ink wash suggest an impressionistic effect. The monochromatic palette uses gray tones on a cream-colored background. The composition leads the eye from the open space to the distant house, conveying solitude.
