Howard Cook

Mexican Interior
1933

A black and white lithograph depicting three figures, likely a family, with a strong emphasis on their facial expressions and the drapery of their clothing. The central figure is a seated woman with a solemn expression, hands clasped together, and a shawl draped over her shoulders. To her right stands a young child with a similarly serious expression, and to her left is another woman, also draped in a shawl, looking outward. In the background, various pottery pieces are arranged, adding to the cultural context of the scene. The artwork is signed "Howard Cook '31" in the bottom right corner.
