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

This is a pencil drawing depicting tall plants and various figures. The left side shows a cluster of dense plants, possibly corn. One figure blends into the plants. On the right, there are two figures, one holding a stick or tool and the other holding a staff. The background includes distant fields, abstract tree shapes, and hills. The drawing has a loose, flowing style with a rural and slightly otherworldly atmosphere.
