Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a line drawing of a person sitting on a stool. The individual is seated with one leg raised and the arm resting on the raised knee, while the other arm supports their posture by resting on their thigh. Their head is slightly tilted, and facial features such as eyes, nose, and lips are roughly sketched, with a suggestion of short hair. The person appears to be nude, and no clothing details or jewelry are depicted. The background is minimal, containing abstract lines that suggest shapes and objects, but they remain undefined, keeping the focus on the figure.
