Sowing
1949

A stylized painting depicting a figure in a wide-brimmed hat and a blue skirt scattering seeds with a sowing motion, standing next to a small plant with a red circle around it and a geometrically patterned bag on the ground. The background is a warm, solid orange, suggesting a simplistic representation of a field or open land.
