Artist, American, 1911 - 2012

Through vertical slats of a wooden bannister, only the side profile of a person's face is visible. The individual in the image has long, dark brown hair and is seen from the shoulders up. They appear to be in a sitting or kneeling position, with their head slightly bent forward. The person is wearing a red garment, and next to them sits a black cat with its back turned. In the background, there is a pale green wall with a repeating pattern and a segment of beige paneling. The focus of the image is on the silhouettes of the individual and the cat framed by the bannister.
