Artist, Austrian, 1886 - 1980

The image is a charcoal drawing of a head and shoulders portrait of a person. The person faces forward with their head slightly tilted to one side. They have prominent facial features, including deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and a defined mouth. The dark hair is depicted in a somewhat disheveled style, framing the face and extending outward around the head. Their clothing is suggested with simple lines for a collar, potentially indicating a shirt or a jacket. There are no visible jewelry pieces or objects being held. The background is plain, with no distinct features, focusing entirely on the person's facial expression and hair.
