Artist, American, born 1927

The image is a stylized illustration of a person's upper body, depicted standing upright and facing forward. The facial features are minimally detailed with bold black lines for the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth against a white backdrop. The hairstyle is represented by thick, flowing lines suggesting medium-length hair. The person is wearing a solid black high-collared garment that covers the neck and extends to the wrists. The background is plain white, contrasting with the black silhouette of the figure. No jewelry or additional objects are visible, and the overall style is graphic and monochromatic.
