Thomas Hart Benton

Shallow Creek
1939

Black and white illustration depicting a serene landscape with a river flowing through it. A bare tree with a twisted branch stands prominently on the left, while lush trees line the right bank. A figure is walking along the river's edge, stepping on stones to cross the water. In the background, a bridge spans the river, and beyond it, rolling hills under a sky with both fluffy and wispy clouds complete the scene. The artwork has a signature in the bottom right corner.
