Artist, (probably American)

The image depicts swirling and angular lines intersecting with one another to create an abstract portrayal. These lines form shapes resembling a human figure, with emphasis on a wide-brimmed hat and a rounded form suggestive of a woman. Geometric shapes in the background provide depth and a stage-like setting for the central figure.
