Artist, American, 1909 - 1976

The image depicts the upper body and part of the legs of a person in a crouched position, leaning forward with both hands on a large beam. The person has a focused expression, with eyes looking towards the beam, and is wearing a hat. The person is dressed in work attire with a tool belt around their waist. The background shows a sketchy texture with a brick wall beneath their feet, and a large steel beam held by the person.
