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

The image shows a drawing of three figures, focusing on their upper and lower bodies. The central figure is seated with their legs raised and arms resting on their knees. The figure to the left is seated slightly turned towards the central figure and has long hair falling around their face. The figure on the right is upright with shoulder-length hair. The figures are wearing simple outlined clothing, with the left figure in a patterned dress, the central figure in loose clothing, and the right figure in a collared garment with a symbol or number. The background consists of curved lines indicating clouds and faint linear marks suggesting distant trees or a landscape on textured, worn paper.
