Artist, American, born England, 1897 - 1938

The image shows a woman from her thighs up. She is leaning slightly forward, with one arm holding an iron and the other hand adjusting a piece of fabric on a table. Her facial features include strong cheekbones, a slightly downturned mouth, and a focused expression. Her hair is styled in a short, neat bob. The woman is wearing a sleeveless top with a scoop neckline and decorative trim. In front of her, there's an iron on the fabric she's working on, and to her side, a neatly stacked pile of folded cloths. The background appears to be a simple indoor setting, with a dim, textured wall and a rectangular outline suggesting a window or a frame.
