Artist, Russian, 1881 - 1962

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person standing in a frontal view. The person is upright with their head facing forward. The face features simple and abstract details, with slight emphasis on eyes and nose. Long, wavy lines frame the face to suggest a beard. The hair is indicated with a few faint lines at the top of the head, and the person appears to have a turban or headwrap. The clothing is depicted with loose, flowing lines resembling traditional robes with voluminous sleeves and a long hem. One hand is partially visible, as if gesturing or holding onto a garment, while the other arm's outline suggests it is concealed within the robes. A small design is present in a pocket-like area on the clothing. The background is plain with no other elements shown.
