Artist, American, 1908 - 1964

The image shows a woman seated at a sewing machine, focusing intently on her work. Her head is slightly bowed, allowing for a partial view of her facial features, which include a gentle expression with downcast eyes and a delicate nose. Her hair is styled in an updo with some curls framing her face. She is dressed in a blouse adorned with frills and trim along the neckline and sleeves. Her right hand guides the fabric beneath the needle of the sewing machine. The sewing machine displays intricate details, and the background appears to be a softly shaded wall.
