Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a human figure wearing a hat. It is primarily black in color. The figure has an elongated form with human features such as eyes, nose, mouth, and limbs. The hat matches the figure's color and seems to be an integral part of it. The sculpture shows some articulation at the joints of the arms and legs, presenting a stylized and abstracted human form.
