Artist, American, 1880 - 1958

The image is a portrait from the waist up. The individual is seated, facing forward, with hands clasped together on their lap. They have a neutral expression, slightly parted lips, a straight nose, dark eyes, short dark hair styled with bangs and curls around the ears. They wear a simple garment - possibly a dress or top - with a square neckline. The drawing is in a monochrome palette, giving a textured look. In the background is an indistinct, softly shaded interior setting with a chair. The artist's signature is in the bottom left corner, and the name "Betty" is inscribed at the bottom center.
