Artist, American, born 1927

The image shows a sketch of a man's upper body, from the chest up. He is facing slightly to the right, displaying distinct facial features including arching eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a mustache, and a subtle mouth line. The man wears a wide-brimmed hat and his overcoat is hinted at in the sketch. The drawing is done with simple pencil lines, and the background is plain.
