Artist, American, 1883 - 1958

This is a drawing of a sculpture. The drawing shows a standing sculpture on a pedestal. The sculpture is a draped figure with flowing robes and a serene expression. It is set against a dark, textured background. The artist used cross-hatching techniques for shadows and highlights, highlighting the three-dimensional quality of the statue. The folds of the drapery and the pose are detailed, adding to the sense of realism and grace in the piece.
