Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The image features a view from a slight elevation, looking over a rustic fence towards a body of water and trees in the distance. The horizon is set toward the upper third of the composition, with a line of trees lining it. The brushstrokes are loose and fluid, creating a sketch-like quality with brown ink that lightly washes over some areas, adding depth and shadow. The overall color palette is warm and monochromatic, dominated by earthy browns and tans. Close to us, a simple wooden fence is drawn spanning horizontally, leading the eye towards foliage and boats at the water's edge, backed by a hillside sweeping across the horizon.
