Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a female figure standing upright. The figure is crafted from wood with a warm, natural brown color. The woman has short, smooth hair and wears a simple dress with short, puffed sleeves ending just below her knees. The dress has a slightly darker shade at the bottom. The figure's arms are bent at the elbows, and she appears to wear brown stockings and boots with a small heel. The carving style is simplistic with clear lines and a somewhat geometric approach.
