Calla Lily
1936–1938

A black and white lithograph depicting a large calla lily in a pot in the foreground with a stylized urban backdrop. Two small figures, one carrying a sack over their shoulder, appear to be walking on a newspaper titled "NY Times" that leads towards the cityscape. The artwork is signed at the bottom with the text "Calla Lily" and "Federal Art Project No. 1" alongside the artist's signature.
