Artist, American, born 1934

The image shows a person lying down on their back, with their head turned away from the camera. Only the upper half of their body is visible, including part of the torso and head. The person's facial features show a relaxed face, with closed eyes, and long dark hair cascading down the pillow. They have a visible earring in the ear that is facing upward. No clothing is present on the upper body. The background appears to be a bed or similar surface covered with light-colored bedding.
