"Four at the Table", 1940s American Scene Lithograph by Woman Artist
Located in Philadelphia, PA

Two of the four face downward, deeply focused on the subject at hand, and another is lost in thought, a pipe in his mouth. The fourth is most mysterious of all, facing away from the viewer. but clearly animated and in conversation. The artist was Alice Harold Murphy...
