Artist, American, 1910 - 1962

The image contains a series of bold, black lines and shapes forming an abstract composition on a plain background. The lines intersect and curve to create a form resembling a face in profile with details hinting at a bird, possibly a large beak and an eye. The drawing allows for multiple interpretations, hinting at objects like a cloak or a pointed hat over a hunched figure. These elements are framed within a loose rectangular outline.
