Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a line drawing of a sitting person shown from the knees up, positioned on a chair with an elbow resting on the backrest and a hand placed on the side of their head. The facial features are not detailed, but the hair is sketched with a short, loose style. The clothing suggests a collared shirt with sleeves rolled to the forearm, and a long garment draped over the lap. The drawing includes simple lines indicating clothing folds and chair elements. The background is plain and unobtrusive, with a stamp at the bottom indicating archival material.
