Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

This is a simple line drawing of the outline of a woman lying on her stomach. Her body is turned to the right, with her legs stretched out and her ankles crossed. Her arms are bent, resting on the ground, with her hands near her face. She seems to look over her shoulder at us. Her facial features are suggested with simple lines, and her hair is depicted in a short, close-fitting style. The woman appears to be nude. The background is plain, off-white paper. Some discoloration or stains are visible, and part of the top left corner has been ripped off.
