Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image displays abstract shapes and lines drawn in a soft, sketchy style. A circle in the upper part extends lines outward. Geometric shapes like hexagons and rectangles are spread throughout, with some intersecting the lines. In the lower left, a tilted rectangle contains forms resembling human figures. On the right, silhouetted figures are seen in partitioned sections, resembling a framed scene. The image blends human forms with geometric abstraction.
