The Kid is a 1928 by Joan Jordan, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman carrying a bundle of sticks on her back, walking through a field. The ground is rough with grass and rocks, and there are two sheep grazing nearby. Trees with heavy branches fill the background, and the whole scene has a textured, almost carved look. The artist used a simple, bold style that flattens shapes and shadows. The lines are strong and the whole image feels like it was cut from wood. Check out Joan Jordan (American) for more of her work.
