Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a charcoal sketch of a person, drawn mostly from the waist up and slightly angled. The figure is positioned with their body tilted to one side and their arm resting on the hip, with the elbow bent outward. The facial features are not distinctly detailed and the hair is loosely sketched. The figure is unclothed, focusing on the contours and lines of the body. The strokes are mostly concentrated on the figure with minimal detailing elsewhere, keeping the background plain and emphasizing the form of the subject.
