Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

The image shows two individuals knitting. One person is depicted bending slightly forward, with their head and facial features hinted at with a few lines. The person's clothing is a simple, short-sleeved garment. The other person is leaning back in what seems to be an armchair, with their facial features slightly more detailed. They wear a beret and a short-sleeved top. Both individuals hold knitting needles and yarn. The background is plain.
