Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch of a person shown from the waist up in a seated position. The figure is leaning back slightly, with one arm extended to the side, resting on what appears to be the back of a chair or sofa. The facial features are not distinctly depicted, giving the face a shadowy appearance. The hair is drawn in long, dark strokes, suggesting mid-length hair. The person is unclothed, with the torso and upper body clearly visible. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects held by the person. The background is an abstract swirl of lines and shading, creating a textured, dynamic backdrop.
