Robert Philipp

By the Lake
1943

A black and white sketch depicts a man and a woman seated at a table, with the man looking off to the side and the woman gazing downward. They appear to be in a contemplative or serious conversation. On the table, there is a glass and a coffee cup with a saucer. In the background, a pastoral landscape stretches out with trees, a body of water, and a distant city skyline under a cloudy sky. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
