Artist, American, 1884 - 1940

The image shows the upper body of a person standing with one hand on their hip. The person's head is slightly tilted, with short hair and some geometric facial features highlighted. They are wearing a loose garment that appears to be a decorated dress or shirt. The background depicts an attic with slanted ceiling beams, wooden panel walls, and a large window behind the person, divided into multiple panes. A canvas or painting is standing on an easel to the right. The setting suggests an artist's studio or workspace. The composition uses bold lines and contrasting black and white, typical of a graphic print style.
