Artist, American, 1921 - 1998

The drawing features a person lying on their back on a loosely sketched surface. The person's right arm is bent under their head, while their left arm rests alongside their body. The facial features have closed eyes and a calm expression, with dark and short hair framing the face. The figure is unclothed and drawn with simple lines and shading. Fabric folds surrounding the person suggest bedding or drapery. The background shows a minimalistic interior space with vertical and horizontal lines indicating walls or partitions. The composition is sparse, with ample blank space around the figure.
