Artist, American, 1870 - 1949

The image is a sketch of a person standing upright in a frontal pose. The individual has their left hand raised, holding an index finger in the air, while the right hand is relaxed by their side. The person's facial features are delicately drawn, with soft shading on their eyes, nose, and lips. They have short, wavy hair framing their face and are wearing a long, flowing garment with a tied knot at the neckline. The background is lightly sketched with horizontal strokes, providing depth and contrast to the central figure. The composition is monochromatic, with pencil marks defining the subject and background.
