Artist, Spanish, 1881 - 1973

The image is a line drawing of a person's profile, showing their head and neck. The person is depicted in a side view, facing to the right. Their facial features are minimalistic, with a prominent nose, single outlined eye with eyelashes, and a subtle smile suggested by the curve of the lips. The person has simple, straight hair with a few lines suggesting texture and a headband across their forehead with abstract star-like shapes depicted on it. There is no clothing visible as the drawing focuses solely on the profile of the head and upper neck. The background is plain and unadorned.
