Untitled (Landscape), ca. 1938 abstract watercolor

A loose abstract landscape in ink and watercolor on paper. Soft green and gray forms curl around a pale, rounded central shape with two dark dots, set against bands of brown, lavender and blue sky. Heavy black contour lines outline the washes, giving the scene a flattened, organic feel.
