Artist, American, born Russia (now Poland), 1881 - 1961

The image depicts an illustration of a person seated in a stylized manner. The person is facing forward with their head slightly tilted to one side. Their arms are positioned in front of them, with one resting on the other. The person has stylized facial features, including an elongated nose, large eyes with pronounced brows, and thin lips. They appear to have long hair or a head covering. The person is dressed in a simple garment with decorative elements on the torso, sleeves, and lower part. There is no visible jewelry, but the hand seems to be holding or resting on a flat object. The background is abstract, with an arch-like frame and geometric patterns, suggesting an interior setting against a plain backdrop.
