Artist, American, 1903 - 1990

The image shows a person standing with their right profile facing the camera. They are wearing form-fitting pants and are topless, with multiple ghostly impressions of their arms extended outward in a sweeping arc behind them. The person's facial features are obscured, and they have short hair. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is a simple wooden paneled wall, and the lighting accentuates the contours of the body and the effect of numerous arms.
