Artist, American, 1925 - 2008

A large piece of striped fabric is draped over a low chair-like structure, with a yellow floral-patterned material partly covering one side. The color palette includes muted shades like cream, pink, and yellow, and brown tones from the wooden structure. Positioned against a textured wall, the assembly is slightly off-center towards the left, casting distinct shadows on the ground and wall from sunlight coming in from the left side of the frame.
