Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The sketch depicts a landscape with two figures in the center. The horizon is higher in the composition with undulating lines representing distant hills. The brushstrokes are sparse and sketch-like, giving a sense of immediacy. The color palette is monochrome with black ink on beige paper. There are visible stains and marks on the paper, adding texture to the image. The lines are fluid and curvilinear, emphasizing the natural landscape.
