Artist, American, 1877 - 1949

The image is a black and white illustration of a person lying down. The person has dark, thick hair that fans around their head, closed eyes, arched eyebrows, and a subtle expression. One leg is extended, while the other is bent with a cloth partially covering the lower body. One arm is bent at the elbow, resting near the abdomen, while the other arm is relaxed along the side. The individual appears to be unclothed, with minimal drapery covering parts of the body. The background is a textured surface with no distinct markings or patterns visible.
