Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The artwork displays a full-body image of a person lying in a reclined position. The figure is on their side, with legs slightly bent and one arm raised above the head. Facial features and hair details are not distinct, as the piece is rendered with broad strokes and abstract expressionism. The person is depicted unclothed, and their form is outlined with bold brushwork. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background consists of abstract brushstroke patterns. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and gray on a white canvas.
