Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The image shows a loose sketch of a riverside scene from an elevated viewpoint. The horizon is visible in the distance with a faint suggestion of trees and a spire rising above them. Brushstrokes are light and gestural, providing minimal representations of figures and landscape. The color palette is muted with earthy browns and washed grays against a cream background. Close to us, there are gestural lines depicting figures interacting with the environment. Further away, the river is depicted with some individuals in canoes or boats. The composition is open with a significant portion of the page left untouched.
