Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The sketch shows a person from their knees up, sitting with their body turned slightly to the side. They are positioned with their right arm resting on their knee and their head leaning on their hand. Their face is shown in profile, with indistinct facial features, and their hair is pulled back into a loose bun. The individual appears to be unclothed, with the focus on capturing the natural lines and curves of the body. The background is plain and unadorned, with no distracting elements.
