Artist, British, 1930 - 1993

The image shows a full-body sketch of a standing figure drawn in black ink. The person is positioned with both arms extended outwards and slightly upwards. The sketch focuses on defining the figure's contours. The face has minimal features with a suggestion of eyes, nose, and a beard. The head appears to have short, spiky hair or a crown-like shape. The figure is unclothed except for a minimal covering around the waist. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain. The bottom corners of the image include handwritten text: "Frink, '86" on the left and a dedication "For Eveline & John" on the right.
