Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch of a person in a seated position, showing almost the entire upper body and part of the lower body. The person is leaning slightly forward with one arm resting on their leg and the other bent, supporting their weight. The facial features are simplified with minimal detail, and the hair appears short and somewhat messy. The person is unclothed, with the focus on the contours and shadows of the body. The drawing is done in rough, expressive charcoal strokes on a plain background. There are no additional objects, jewelry, or detailed features in the surroundings, except for a red stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL" on the lower left side of the page.
