Artist, British, born Germany, 1904 - 1983

The image shows a woman's torso and arms in a high-contrast style. She is seated with her left arm crossing her torso. Her face is partially visible with full lips, and she has wavy hair falling around her shoulders. She appears unclothed, sitting on a chair. The background features a plain interior wall with some molding, and a framed picture is visible on the left wall. The image has a high exposure, creating an ethereal and soft quality.
