Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The image presents a sketch of a waterside scene from a slightly elevated angle. The perspective shows a body of water with a high horizon line separating the sky from the water. Faint clouds are sketched above the horizon. Small strokes on the horizon imply distant waves. In the foreground, there is a tilted post with a small box on top, several wooden poles in the water, and a small boat with a figure inside. The brushwork is minimalistic with soft, light lines, and the color palette is monochromatic using shades of gray.
